Default hand made cameras

Attached are some images of 5x4 cameras I have made as student aids to help them understand different lens formats. They are a pinhole, a small wide angle dallmeyer 3.5 " lens and a Agfa Prontor 2 10.5 cm complex lens.
I get them to use paper negatives as they are easier to scan and print positive.

No posts on this ? Thats a bit disappointing, really cool project to get students interested and as an aid, as you say ! What would you say the "focal length" of the pinhole is ? Looks really wide, as its so thin. Are you able to share any of the results using these cameras ? I would love too see them.

Thanks for the comments, I will post some of the images they have done. As for the focal length of the pinhole, I havnt worked it out, it is set very close to the film/paper plane.
