These are three churches from my home town of Dillingen
The most modern one, St. Ulrich, done with a Polaroid Pinhole camera focal length 30mm.
The second one is Catherine's Church, late 19th...

Hi Alessandro, I like that project! Do you have a complete folding pattern for your pinhole box? I did something similar with students, but we used these pinhole "kits"...

That's an interesting concept!

Wilper and plywood: any inside/detail pics?

Thank you for your answers. I hope to get a Grafmatic quite cheaply. As I usually shoot paper, it would be wasted on me if it only worked with film. Some light trimming of the paper is no problem,...

Well, the title says it all...
Paper is a bit thicker than sheet film, so will this be a problem?
Can I get the paper into the septums? Does the whole mechanical thing still work?
Who has tried...

Thank you for your input: Mark, I am certainly going to keep the lens - what do you think of it as a portrait lens for 5x7?
Peter Yeti, I must admit the Sinar system is unknown to me. Have you got a...

Thank you JoeV for the link to your video. I already knew the one about box cameras but not that one. I love the idea.

Well Plywood, a foto or sketch would be very welcome. "The paper is slid into...

Checked it: You shall not pass, as Gandalr said to the Balrog.

Amazing. Wonder if my Busch Pressman can stand the strain! :rolleyes:

That's what I got today from Switzerland.
Schneider Kreuznach Symmar-S 5.6/300mm on a Sinar Lensboard. No shutter.
What a monster.
I can right away forget ever using it on my 4x5. I should have...

Just found this pinhole camera on ebay: Interesting concept, I believe!

Thank you, Scheinfluger_77; when I look at pictures taken with the Harman Titan (f 125mm), there seems to be room to go a bit "wider". Fall-off is not that bad there. But you're right, 90mm is really...

Then what is the "bellows flare" I read about? Thank you for your explanation!

I like the "top-loader" design and will try to use it in my camera. John, do you use a vignetting board only because the inside of the box is metal, or does it have its place in wood cameras, too?

Thank you! It certainly seems feasible. A great encouragement! I'll have to think of something that I can a) secure the paper well B) change it easily.... There must be something else than...

I am toying with the idea of building an 8x10 (18x24cm) wide-angle pinhole camera. Nothing difficult, basically.
But to decrease light drop-off in the corners, I would like to make a curved back. ...

Youi can also use Micrsoft Word to arrange your text in an arc. Use the feature "WordArt" on Word. It may take some fiddling and a lot of test prints on normal paper. But you will get there....

Go to modeling supplies. Aircraft or ship model builders often decorate their vehicles with transparent plastic that can be run through an ink-jet or laser printer and then glued to the model - I...

Well, I studied in Wales for a short while, I love the "Prydain Chronicles", and in reenactment I'm a 13th century Welsh archer. Hence the name.
As for Baden-Württemberg, this is a foreign country....

hello everybody, I live on the river Danube, in Bavaria, Germany. I love building pinhole cameras out of plywood left from my boat modeling. I also own a Bush Pressman.
I shoot on Ilford multigrade...

Did a project with students; they built their own cardboard cameras (from kits, http://www.lochkamera-versand.de/), I brought my wooden box with the 4x5 sheet holders. Some of the results, scanned...
