Re: [pinhole-discussion] The panopin
Cj and All - Regarding the darkroom, I have almost given up on mine. Last week CompUSA had a great deal on the new Epson 3200 scanner that I could not pass up. Accordingly, I have spent the last week scanning and printing various negatives (pinhole and otherwise), via MIS Quadtones and I can only say that I am truly amazed. The best part - today after a not-so-productive day of shooting (and a much more productive day of building pinholes) I had my final images in a very short period of time. Polaroid, Pinhole, and Digital are three great peas in a pod. The images created with my digital darkroom are quite inspiring, an besides, with polaroid who really needs a darkroom? Don > Currently I am using a 4x5 camera I made up and using Polaroid 55 type film. I am hoping to scan in the negatives and then use my computer to keep an album of my work. I do not have a darkroom available. Any feedback would be most welcome. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo http://search.yahoo.com
Re: [pinhole-discussion] The panopin
I happen to be the proud owner of Mottweiler Design pinoramic camera. I don't think Kurt Mottweiler is making the camera, but you can see it at http://www.cnsp.com/mdesign/. It is a great camera. james On Sunday, April 20, 2003, at 01:24 PM, CJ Rumpolo wrote: I am enjoying each moment so far, has anyone had experience with the panopin camera?
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinhole Lens... ???
Hey Guy, It looks like some one has taken a glass lens and taken out the apertures and replaced them with a pinhole. I have seen this done when some one wanted to have a very great depth of field. I my memory serves me I saw this in either Popular or Modern Photography magazine.

Guy, I think it is nothing but a regular 50mm lens to which a pinhole has been added, probably inside the lens itself and in between the front and rear elements, by leaving a good portion of the lens uncovered you are assured to be able to frame the shot using the viewfinder, then you close the aperture until it covers the round black portion on which the pinhole is made or mounted and make the exposure. This lens will provide enormous DOF at expenses of diffraction. Not a pinhole lens in the sense we use them, but a trick many model builders (trains, ships, etc) utilize to make images of their creations and get a DOF that is close to what they would get if the subject was life size.

[pinhole-discussion] Pinhole Lens... ???
Has anybody ever heard of this: a Minolta Pinhole Lens? Seems like a contradiction in terms... But it's there, on eBay! (One can find anything on eBay, of course...). Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm 1.7 Pinhole Lens Item # 2923888237 Current price: $75.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15237&item=292388 8237 I'm rather intrigued by this lens or pinhole.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] The panopin
Thanks for the reply. But the panopin is a panoramic camera that uses a curved film plane to give a 120 degree angle of view. The curved film plan helps to reduce curvature of the image. There is a website that sells the camera and also shows sample images and I am trying to get something to give me this perspective in my photography.

What do you mean with panopin? 360 degrees or just "elongated"? If it's the lasr one, a suggestion: a)transform a Holga 120S into a pinhole camera (enough links one the net) and then: b)load her with 35 mm film! See http://www.theverb.com/holga/modification.htm or Kim Taylor who did the same with a Lubitel 166 http://www.toycamera.com/KTaylor/index.html If you are satisfied with 180 degrees, have a look on this page and scroll down till "Marina Klein Willebroek" http://users.pandora.be/taco/pinholes/mypinholes.html Taco

[pinhole-discussion] The panopin
Hi, and a happy holiday to all. I was wondering, since I am pretty much a newbie at pinholing, and I am enjoying each moment so far, has anyone had experience with the panopin camera? I am thinking about getting one though I am still designing one of my own (the fun part for myself), I just do not have an idea on how to get the film advance mechanism to work. Also just how do paper negatives compare to film negatives? If the paper negatives are just as good then I can forego the film advance mechanism. Currently I am using a 4x5 camera I made up and using Polaroid 55 type film. I am hoping to scan in the negatives and then use my computer to keep an album of my work. I do not have a darkroom available. Any feedback would be most welcome. Enjoy. Oh and in keeping with the Easter holiday I was wondering, has anyone thought about blowing out eggs and then coating the inside with light sensitive emulsion exposing the eggs and then developing and carefully cutting the eggs open? I see it in my head but its just one of those random thoughts I get every now and again. CJ
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Happy Easter!
Tom, It's great to hear from you. I'm so far back on things that I don't think I'll ever catch up. I've got about 3,000 unread messages in my email basket (985 from the Pinhole list...). There is so much stuff piled up on my desk that I would need to dig "carrots" to find things and only an archeologist could make sense of it! And then, I have so much backlog in negatives to print... But my show closed this weekend and I just stuck to the great Tom Lindsay words of wisdom: "Keep on Pinholin"! My last experiment (unprocessed yet) it to test the Flying Pinhole camera with chrome film to get a 2 1/4 x 33 inch a transparency of continuous-ovelapping-images, similar to that produced by the travelling camera. If that works, then I'd like to create a larger body of this kind of work on transparency...! I'll write to you off line to hear more about you. Happy, happy Easter to you and family, Tom! (and, of course, "Keep on Pinholin"!)

Tom, I don't think my kids are going to make Pinhole Day. We won't finish the unit we're on until the Friday before Pinhole Day. Maybe next year.
