Was rummaging through some of my stuff yesterday, and discovered I have two pinholes for a 4x5 camera. Will have to see if they fit the Special Crown Graphic, or the Calumet 400 Monorail. This should be fun.

I went out this morning. It was freaking freezing wind . I was freezing the moment with 28mm f152 pinhole cap on M-E.

That's the way to get things started, KoFe, and Kent. I was able to get the pinhole plate to fit on my Calumet 400, and went with FL 80mm, f267 @ 2s on Kodak T-Max 400 in a 6x7 Calumet C3 roll film holder. Will have to wait till I get the film up to Charlottesville later in the week to see if I did okay.

I used the Pinhole Designer program to calculate the parameters, though it was kind of confusing. And since I wasn't exactly sure the hole size was 0.3mm, I also used 0.5mm, FL 80mm, f160 @ 1/2s.

Hopefully, one of the four exposures comes out okay.

I finished the roll off in the Crown Graphic Special. We'll see how that Schneider lens produces. I should have brought a locking shutter release cable with me because it doesn't have a T setting on the shutter for previewing the shot, and and I may have shook the camera a bit during the exposure using the built-in release.

How are results, PF?

I left another picture taken with M3 and same pinhole cap on official site today. (I printed it yesterday).

Nothing, Ko. The negs were pitch black. Should have doubled or tripled the time I guess. I used Pinhole Designer to determine exposure, but even that program is pretty confusing when it comes to interpreting what it comes up with. And the Calumet C3 roll film holder I used also leaks, as the few frames where I did get something on the neg in the Crown Graphic (using a regular lens) showed a large arc across the frames.
