I thought this was going to be about converting an M&Ms mini container into a medium format pinhole camera, which would be quite a feat of engineering :o

Don't ask Becky or Diane... you're sure they would make one :)

Since I don't eat milk chocolate, I can't help on that  ::)

Well... this is not exactly an M&M camera, but it's the closest thing ;)
Many years ago, I bought a bunch of used Lego bricks in a random bag at a church charity shop. I didn't care much about having a complete set since it was for making cameras with them. In the bag were some of those Lego brick like Smarties boxes that they released so long ago. I converted one to a pinhole, put it in a drawer and forgot about it.

There's not much to say about it since it doesn't even have a shutter! My finger does all the work  ::)
Just a hole in a piece of veggie juice can and some furnace tape. I painted the box black using some Krylon Fusion so it would have a good adhesion.

Just took this photo this afternoon. about 1 minute in the shadow on Ilford MG4 RC paper (satin finish)
