Re: [pinhole-discussion] disposable camera pinholes
That dremel drill bit is defenitely a good one to use, it is bit #125 and you can make holes of up to 1/4" with it. BTW, the secret to convert a disposable camera to a pinhole one is: Get 2 already used disposable cameras, dissasemble one, if you have to damage it, so be it, that's the reason for having 2 of them, once open, study how the different parts latch with each other, this will allow you to disassembly the other camera safely. Then study the film advancing mechanism, this will teach you how to reload the camera and if the new film cassette has to suffer any modification, remove the lens, install a pinhole, reload the camera with the film, which has to be done under darkroom conditions.

Ben, As long as a cameras has a setting that allows the shutter function to work, that is: lift the mirror and open up the shutter when the shutter realease is pressed, that camera is fit fit for pinhole practice. I assume some cameras' shutter function may not work if a "real" lens is not installed, cameras with electronic links between the lens a the body may require to be set for manual exposure and/or manual focusing.

[pinhole-discussion] Body caps?
Hi, I am just starting to dabble in pinhole photography and was wondering if someone could offer me an answer to a question or two. I want to try to drill a pinhole into the body cap of my Bronica but I do not know how to measure the focal length of the body so I can drill an appropriate size pinhole. How do I measure this distance. I am guessing it is the measure from the film plane to the inside of the body cap. Thanks in advance CJ.
Re: [pinhole-discussion] disposable camera pinholes
Sherry, You do not need a special drill bit - just one that isn't too big, nor too small - anything 1/8 inch and smaller is a good starting point. A useful bit is made for a Dremel Tool and is shaped like a cone. If you drill from the front, it makes a nice beveled edge. --- sherry rea wrote: > will someone please share the secret of making a > pinhole cmaera from disposable cameras and also is > there a special drill bit that should be used for > the > body cap pinhole? > > > thanks > > sherry > > > __ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
