Matchbox Pinhole

[taylan]

I made a matchbox pinhole and took some photos. I just managed to print some photos.

For more details about print you can click this link.

I am very happy for the first results. I need a panoramic camera and I am planning to make a panoramic pinhole rather than buy a Xpan 🙂

I dig it! How did you manage to get a square hole?

🙂 I didn't make a square hole. Just cut a square for film frame masking. You can find a detailed instruction guide at this link:

Really cool results! What type of film did you use?

That's great ... I think I may have to have a go at this.

Thanks for posting the link to the instructions. 🙂


Do they have instructions for the monochrome version? :angel: 😀

 

[Pherdinand]

you just have to use a monochrome pinhole.
Or a filter.

I just used BW film.
I have some ruined BW film with scratches at home. I bought Agfa APX400 as bulk film and my bulk loader scratched all of rolls. I haven't used them and they are sitting in my cabinet. When I built the pinhole, I used these scratched film. In short, It is just a BW film 🙂

Wow!

Wow!

I enjoyed reading the links..I remember making such a "camera" when I was a kid using cut roll film...the results were "interesting".
Thanks for bringing back the memory...the guys at Jena and Gorlitz must have wondered why they bothered with glass..😕

Taylan, will you start mass producing it?

🙂 I am not Oskar Barnack.
If you want one for you, I can arrange something.

Awesome, can we see some camera porn of the actual camera please?

Brilliant!


Now you'll have to make a second one! ;-)
