Omar,
Nice work! You have inspired me to start tinkering with some of my one-step
cameras again. Are you using 600 film? Do you know what size sewing needle
you used for the pinhole?
Thanks, and keep the images coming!

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid Impulse Integral Film Pinhole
Camera
Hi Pinholers,
I am new to the discussion group, and although I have been taking pinhole
photographs with a Nikkormat and Pinhole Body Cap for about 2 years now, I
have recently built an integral film polaroid pinhole camera. You can see a
couple of images of it:

I made my own home brew pinhole with a sewing needle, a pin vise, and some
brass shims from my local art/crafts store.
It took some experimentation but I was finally able to totally black out the
electronic light sensor to keep the camera's original shutter mechanism open
as long as possible.
Since I have a home made pinhole, I don't know what f-stop I am working
with, but, as long as I am getting an image on the film I guess it doesn't
really matter.
The Polaroid Impulse which I obtained used for $3 is really easy to take
apart with destroying the camera. I simply replaced the Polaroid plastic
lens with a circular brass pinhole shim and glued it on with black silicon
adhesive/sealant.
See the images in the gallery:

Please give any input as to your own personal experiences with this type of
pinhole camera!
