Hi Jane, A slit is an elongated pinhole that, like a round pinhole, is an image forming device. A slit is about the same width as the diameter of a pinhole, but can be up to 2.5" to 3" long for a 4x5 negative. The slit can be a straight line: horizontal, vertical or diagonal. The image formed will take the characteristics of the slit. If the slit is horizontal, the image will be wider than normal; if it vertical, the image will be taller than normal. The fun part of slit photography is using curved and zig-zag and right-angle and question-mark-shaped and other wacky slits. Tf there are two slits between the image and the film plane, the image will take on characteristics of both slits. This is the second and truly fun part. The resulting images are so distorted! There isn't a good description of slit photography that I've found on the internet (yet). Good descriptions of slit photography and great resulting images are in the Pinhole Journal, vol 15 #1 and in Eric Renner's book "Pinhole Photography, Rediscovering a Historic Technique." There's more about slits in the second edition than the first. Eric and Nancy at Pinhole Resource sell the Cardozo slit camera on their website www.pinholeresource.com. There is a picture of the camera on their products page. Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.E.
