Well, if you want to go light, you can't beat converting a small 35mm "premium" camera into a pinhole -- easy to carry, film & processing available anywhere, and yah, you can enlarge those tiny negs later. A better compromise, since you like the large negs, might be a converted-to-pinhole 120 folder with one of the larger rectangular film formats -- 6x9 cm is a decent subset of the 4x5 negative size, and the cameras are a lot smaller/cheaper/lighter than the 4x5... I think my Agfa Billy Record takes 120 film in 6x9 format (I can't put my hands on mine at the moment) and I got it for about $10. If you want to do polaroid, you could convert one of the ubiquitous pack film cameras (foldinig or solid body, although the folding ones approach a small 4x5 in size and weight...) -- I've got a polaroid colorpack I left the shutter on, but replaced the lens with a (largish) pinhole -- now if I use ASA 3000 film, I've got a handheld pinhole camera.
Anyway, just a thought. I've been playing with 4x5 myself, and it sure is *ahem* more to carry. -- pw --- Catherine Just <blue_medic...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Last year I went to england with a pinhole camera.
