Thanks for the advice on cutting holes in tin cans. I wanted to share a can
idea I stumbled upon at Starbucks. I looked for those Republic of Tea
canisters that are good for 4x5 cylindrical setups. They were out of stock,
but had these "Mocha Roca" butterscotch tins that are the same height, only
oval shaped. Bought one and stuck a 4x5 sheet of film inside (lengthwise),
and it's a *perfect* fit, centered and concave, with no modification needed
(and cheaper than the tea canisters). I rattled the can around and the film
stayed in its original position. Looks like it'll be about a 65mm focal
length once I put the pinhole in. Looking forward to sharing some images
(perhaps on Pinhole Day 2003!)
