building a camera
« on: April 28, 2007, 04:39:18 PM »
After sawing, clamping, gluing, sanding.... and routering.....
and hand drilling a hole in brass shim stock

my 4 x5 pinhole box looks like this.

I made the back of the box to fit Polaroid, 4 x 5 sheet and roll film holders.

I need heavy duty bungee cords to hold the Polaroid back on, but the other film holders just snap in.

Nice box...
Hope you have a plan for a shutter...

I chose a while ago to modify an existing camera. It was easier to make a working shutter since there were still some usable mechanical parts in that rusty shutter I dismantled.
