Michael Reichmann will be all over this baby, mirror lock-up as straight as it gets.

Well, it does look a little more sophisticated than oatmeal boxes. But I'd be concerned about light leaks, to say nothing of that left-handed shutter button - shades of the old classic Exaktas.

I used one last year. Lovely pics but I kept getting paper cuts and they smart.

Ended up swapping it on ebola for a bag of tortilla chips.

This Paper Pinhole Camera is worth a look.

My boss tried trading me to another group for a packet of crisps and an apprentice programmer to be named later - no takers. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

I had an Exacta 66 (the rubberized one) that looked exactly like this!

I always wanted one of those, but some online friends talked me out of it - said it was not 'all that'. Sure looks nice, though.

Yes, that one is nice.

I'm thinking of buying it with my next order. Pity I didn't see it when I ordered Diafine this week :bang:

Mmmm. But it's €29 for a disposable, and Zero Image sell solid wooden pinhole cameras for about €75 in various formats. I got the 135, the film loading is a bit weird but I can have it developed in the local minilab once they recover from seeing the film coming out of the take-up cassette 'the wrong way'.

Zero Image also have various 120 cameras and a 4x5.

Mine came from HK to EU in less than a week for about €10 or €15 shipping I recall, and no duties as they descibed it as a 'wooden box' which is just about right.

You need to get the exposure right. There's a little booklet with the camera.

The camera is useable for more than one film and would be just for fun and experimenting. Should I get interested in pinholes the Zero 2000 or Zero 69 would tempt me.
But step after step, first priority now is learning wet printing (got my enlarger today 😀 )

Have fun with that enlarger.

I keep getting emails trying to sell me enlargers too.
