 Hi,
 it´'s normal if the pinhole is direkt in the plastic of the can. Try a
 greater opening -like your penny- in the film-cannister and put the pinhole
 (from soda-can or each other thin material)in the middle of this greater
 hole.
 This will work great.

OK. I did this when I made a pinhole camera out of a cookie tin.  But why
does it make a difference if the hole is made out of thin metal?  Does the
thickness of the plastic make the image smaller?


Hi Shannon,

that's exactly right, the thickness of the plastic does make the image smaller, 
plus, you will get smaller and better holes into soda-cans. The thinner the 
material, the hole is in, the lager your picture will be in diameter.
Take a look at my page at http://www.pinhole.q-fladen.de 
All pictures on there were taken with film canisters.

 How big is the image supposed to be with the film canister cameras?  I
 made
 an exposure today and it's about the size of a penny.  Is that normal?

   Has anybody used smaller formats (like 35mm?) for pinhole??
  

I have done similar things with 35mm film and fim cans as a camera. You can see 
the results at http://www.pinhole.q-fladen.de
I have tried to develop inside the cannister too, but I ended up with corroded 
pinholes.

 Yes, I built a pinhole camera out of a 35mm cannister.  Don\'t expect 
 sharpness,
  but it\'s a fun project.  I was even able to develop it inside the cannister.
