Nice one, Yorkie.

I've given shiny stuff on the inside more thought. Light would be scattered everywhere but where it was needed, the film plane. You don't want anything interfering with the rays of light travelling...

P.S.

I have just dug out a book-

Don't take offense, Colin, just having laugh (trying to. Hand bags dear, hand bags).and it was a good link.

Hi Again,

Where shall I start. Well, looks like I didn't send my last post (again, Ooops), so LabRat I know the materials are going to cost me, but it is the labour (note spelling, the correct...

The photos have been put somewhere "safe" by one of the homunculi, when I find them I will gladly upload (note the jargon) them, but don't hold your breath.

I know that I can build pinhole cameras...

What a good idea, Andrew. Who knows what you might find there!?

I shall be using the machine as a , a....a..............Oh dear, brain cell failure.

I shall imagine that I am an Edwardian...

I'm planning a 5x4 camera. I have been researching the build for a couple of years, on and off. Building it isn't a problem apart from the bellows. It also has to cost me as little as possible, like...

Back Again,

I tried those links, Tin Can and had already thought of a two box type of camera and yes it is a very simple design without and adjustment to the front or back planes unless tow small...

Tim's Back Again,

I made a mistake last time. The sentence should have read " I wonder if it is worth reading" and not the rubbish I did type (a question of the typing not keeping up with the...

Thanks Len,

I did wonder if there would be some image distortion due to light reflecting in all directions and less of those lovely photons reaching the film plane (getting a bit physical now,...

like a bad penny Tin Can, like a bad penny.

The Bad Penny Returns,

That is a good point, Tin Can. But would not a coat or two of some sot of paint cover the damage, or even tape?

I tried that link Andrew, supa-dupa!

Bye for now

Hi everybody,

Another thought, there is the bellows section for a LPL 6x7 enlarger (this is NOT an enlarger for gentlemen with a small p..................Agh my hands have dropped off,divine...

Hello,

This tread has given me food for thought and I have another question. Has anyone,using BK5 material, have something shiny on the inside to enhance the amount of light (I have just taken...

A changing bag! I had never thought of that one. Well done, alan b. Presumably somewhat water tight as well which I was going to ask in my original enquiry but forgot (an inherent affliction, those...

Hello All,

Great news, guys. Many grateful(?) thanks to Tin Can and Radii. I know it is going over old ground and boring but it is a new venture for me. i have already made a couple of 5x4 pinhole...

Yes, that's the bad boy. What I forgot to include in the thread was is it any good?

Hello Everybody,

This is my very first post on this most interesting site. A heads up on material for making your own bellows. Whilst researching this seemingly easy task (finding material) and...
