Thanks for the head's up on that, Chris. I'll see if I can find that on the news stand here.
Cheers, Svend |

My latest pinhole camera cost only £25 - it's a pinhole set in a lens board for a large format camera. It's made by Intrepid but could be used on any camera that takes Linhof/Technika boards. Now I have the option to take pinholes with the camera that I'm carrying anyway, and also a choice of angles of view depending on how the belows are set.

Good one - thanks Kevin. The images from a 4x5 pinhole must be really wonderful. Sounds like a very nice, and flexible, setup that you have there.
This has got me thinking of using my Mamiya C330 for pinhole. I will have to rummage around my kit bin for a body cap, or maybe just make one and add a pinhole. Will explore this further... |

Thanks to Steve for reminding me that I also have a lens cap for my SLR. ;-) If you go for a TLR camera, you would not even have to change lenses to compose the image. :-)

Its a front body cap (The cap you would put on if there is no lens on the camera), rather than a lens cap, so no lens on the camera. steve |

Hi Steve,
Yes, of course and i got it wrong. Mine is a sort of a front body cap for the mount of my main work horse SLR. Therefore I compose the frame with a normal lens and then change to the pinhole with the same mount. Another source: https://skinkpinhole.com/wp/ Frank |

The C330 body cap would be a goer if a pinhole could give any kind of viewable image in the composing chamber. That would be easy enough to check. Of course, you would need to make a body cap with two identical pinholes, which strikes me as practicable. You might need a dark cloth to compose.

Hi Michael,
Depending on the field of view of the pinhole, a C330 body cap could possibly (hopefully) be composed using the focusing hood in sportsfinder mode. It has that flip-down front panel and rear peephole that is common with TLRs. I'm sure there's a web resource out there that can give me the fields of view for various pinhole focal lengths.
