[pinhole-discussion] Help me "Keep on Pinholin'"!!!
Hello All, It's been quite a while since I posted anything. What I'm asking for is those who do pray, to say a prayer for me. I'm still going through cancer and I am going for surgery on April 2nd and April 3rd. It will be surgeries 7 & 8 for me since June of last year. I figure if I get a global prayer going it just might get the Big Guy upstairs attention to put an end to all the crap I've been going through the last few months. I will be doing some pinhole while in the hospital if I have enough strength. I will share the whole story with everyone later on this Spring. That is after I get some editing help from the select few who have been helping me already with this; and they all know who they are. And I want to thank them now for all their help. This is the BEST group on the whole Internet; and I really mean it too! "Keep on Pinholin'", Tom

Hi Everyone, I,am new to this Pinhole thing,although I had a Exhibition in London of my pinhole photos taken with a Bob Rigbey 5x4 camera. I would like to take some nude model photos using a pinhole camera,has anyone tried this?does the model need to be braced for a long time,or can one use fast film?.I am going to go into the studio soon and try this out and learn from the mistakes I make. But it is always useful to learn from other people.Any help would be great all the best John
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Upper Midwest Pinhole Get-together.
Donna To follow up on Guy's tale of a broken camera. The Holga. while not having the cult status of the Diana, is much more robust, has less light leak problems, and is a lot cheaper. Many people will modify a Holga lens with steelwool, sandpaper, or clear fingernail polish to reduce the "sharpness" and approximate the Diana lens effect. Others have removed the lens from a dysfunctional Diana and mounted them on lens boards for their 4x5. FWIW - I have a Diana and several clones, but end up shooting mostly with the Holgas. I actually prefer the slightly sharper image of the Holga to the Diana image. But others would choose the reverse order.

I want to add a Diana camera to my small collection of oatmeal boxes Hi Donna, I had a Diana, bought on eBay for an outrageous price, which unfortunately broke. The plastic is plastic and I was carrying it around without protection in my backpack... So I decided to replace it by a clone. Even those are way too expensive. My experience with these cameras is mixed. I like the images I get from them but I don't like the small format of the negative. But then you get more pictures on a roll of 120 film than with a conventional 2 1/4 or a Holga. I also find that it is difficult to mix pinhole with plastic when I put my pictures together for a show or something. Individually they are great, but side by side, it seems that they don't fit together. Winning on eBay is an art... I, myself, wait in the back until the last moments of the auction. I check if the price remains good for me, then I jump in the last few seconds with a maximum bid which I what I am prepared to pay for the item. I generally works, but not always. There are many who follow that strategy and some have nerves of steal (together with a high-speed connection allowing them to wait literally for the last 5 seconds...) Good luck with your experiments if you get one. Cheers, Guy P.S. Thanks, Kurt, for your interesting links.
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Upper Midwest Pinhole Get-together.
If you're going to use it for pinhole, you may as well just get a new Holga or the like (Lomo if you want 35mm), they're only $15 at Freestyle (no financial interest).

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Upper Midwest Pinhole Get-together.
Hi Donna Not to worry. Many pinholers shoot Toy cameras as well. I can tell you the little I know - the 151 was the original and shoots a somewhat smaller image than the F. I am not sure about the 162. Prices have gone way up on mint condition Dianas, driven by competition between photographers and collectors for those few. The Diana was put out under many different names by the Great Wall Plastics, and these "clones" have been cheaper but also are increasing in price.

That's wonderful, Tom. And it looks like a very interesting organization, love the education program, especially the mentoring.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Upper Midwest Pinhole Get-together.
I am relatively new to pinhole (but very much in love) and the discussion list. I want to add a Diana camera to my small collection of oatmeal boxes and one zero 2000 camera.I know Diana is not a pinhole and I have been sensitized to process and product themes on the discussion as of late. But certainly a related cousin. I have so far lost many ebay bidding wars and realized I don't know what the differences are between the various Diana camera models. Does anybody have any information to share? There seems to be a difference in value for 151 vs. F vs. 162 , etc., but I am not sure whether that is a "collector's issue" or whether the different models might offer something useful for the "fuzzy dreamy quality." Thanks to all of you for this wonderful education I have been receiving. Donna
