I am still using this camera ( camera box made from black card and attached
to a cartridge of 126 film - increasingly difficult to get hold of! The
pinhole is made from aluminium pastry foil) despite manual wind-on problems
etc. Could Guillermo or one of the experts please tell me who first
described it. Do you have the reference to a paper or did it first appear on
the internet? I'm hoping to write a paper and would like to give credit to
the person.
Thanks, and happy pinholing everyone

There's quite a bit of documentation on 126 pinhole cameras on the
web. Kodak use to have a page on it before the 126 film format was
discontinued. I have a copy of the original Kodak how-to page stored here
(with Kodak's permission):

Here's another, similar how-to page:

A search at google.com for "126 pinhole camera" will display many more links.
And here's a photo I uploaded last year of some of the camera bodies I've
used out of paper towel and toilet paper tubes:

- hope this is helpful,
