| Pinhole Photography
I complain about work getting in the way of blogging and then I stay up late designing a pinhole assembly for my Mamiya. What can I say?
This is for the one person out there who may care. The focal length will be 67mm and the pinhole will be .014" dia (some formulas give me .012" dia) with an f stop of around 220. The angle of view, with my 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 negative, will be 72 degrees, which will be a nice wide angle, 40 degrees would be normal. With the bellows back of my Super 23, I can get longer focal lengths and I will be getting extension tubes for even longer focal lengths. I will be using commercial laser drilled pinholes in .001" thick stainless steel.
Here are a couple of links that I came across in my search for pinhole information.
This one is truly demented. (That's high praise.) He has a 110 pinhole camera that he makes exposures from inside his mouth.

I just ran across this in a link from a pinhole site. Bostick and Sullivan specialize in platinum and palladium printing supplies but have other intersting stuff including the most outrageous camera I have ever seen — a hand held 8 x 10 camera.
The HOBO
The camera that goes where you go.
No rosewood here. No gold plate, no hand rubbed finish. No attitude. Its bloodline is more Jeep than Rolls Royce. We wanted a large format 8x10 camera that could ride in the trunk with the spare tire and jack and feel comfortable. We wanted an 8x10 that could be hand held. We wanted a lot. This is it.
