Cameras I've Built
This was the 1st
non-Quakers Oats Camera I built. The Bird House was fun.
It takes a piece of 4x5 film/paper and has a changeable Pinhole!
My
Second camera has an interesting feature.
I built it to be extendable. What I expect to do (some day) is to build
additional extenders to turn it into an extreme telephoto. Without its 25mm
extender, it has a 25.4mm focal length. I use a 0.016" pinhole in it, as do
I do in all of my PH's.
Since I was having trouble controlling the
exposure with a 25mm Focal Length, I decided to try a shutter. It produces an
interesting circular picture on the film.
This
is my current camera. It takes a 52mm filter and is stable on its own w/o a
tripod. It takes 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 film holders, has a focal length of 35mm, 78
degree field of view at f86. I just wrote the exposure conversions on the top
for an easy, no-calc reference.
I built this to enable me to use different pinholes
on my Graphics and larger cameras. I have a 6"x6" lens board that I've
modified to take the 4"x4" lens boards.
