RE: [pinhole-discussion] The panopin
CJ, I know it's not always the most popular place to locate items, but I did see a panopin on e*ay... It is a kit camera made by Mike Bell, and it looks like you could take a look at the part(s) you were interested in making: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2923945842&category=15247 As for Guillermo's suggestion of the Bender darkslide- that would be very easy to make (they say so on the site)... I have a couple of old Graphlex 4x5's as well lots of holders & extra darkslides. I could make the 2x5 slide & put a pinhole camera together ready to shoot! Contact me offlist for info on this camera.

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, Don't feel bad, do not give up in your project, firstly: you are trying to make a camera for yourself, not to massively produce it, secondly: there aren't too many manual ways you can turn the film cartridges inside a camera, 120 roll like cameras have been manufactured since the end of 19th century (I think) and those patents are now expired. If you take a look to early 20th century rolls film cameras winding mechanism you will find similarities with current 120 cameras mechanisms. > I figure if I am using a 4x5 camera and I make a > mask to give me two images of 2 x 5 on one sheet of film then I can enlarge > the negative to pretty much panoramic scale. That's a good way to make panoramics, you just need a dark slide cut like this: http://www.benderphoto.com/2x5pa.htm > The only thing I was thinking > about was the curved film plane.

Regular photo lenses don't use their curvature to correct what you think. Curved film plane pinhole cameras help you lower the light fall off. > I tried to email Kurt from his site, hoping to purchase a camera, >Other plans I had were to purchase an old view camera and convert it to > a really expensive pinhole camera. If I remember correctly, Kurt's camera was priced at around $1000 and worth every penny, do the math, you could buy several old view cameras with the price of one of Kurt's camera. So don't think that buying a old view camera and using it as pinhole camera is a bad or expensive idea. > Then again I should use Mr. Au's camera more often as well.

Then an old view camera may be good for you, perhaps a press camera or if I you have the money, get a 4x5 Shen-Hao http://www.shen-hao.com it sells for $625 at http://www.badgergraphic.com/search_product2.asp?x=2594 (a steal at that price) and if later you want to do glass lens 4x5 you just get the lens.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] The panopin
No I fully understand it would be unfair (if not illegal) to use someone elses ideas without consent. I really have no plans on stealing another person's hard work and design. I tend to look at things I like, then try to make them myself. Call it a test of my thinking skills. My current design is from another person's website but have run into a snag of film transport. Today I pretty much considered on giving up the whole project and just stay with the camera I have. I figure if I am using a 4x5 camera and I make a mask to give me two images of 2 x 5 on one sheet of film then I can enlarge the negative to pretty much panoramic scale. The only thing I was thinking about was the curved film plane. I am guessing lenses use their curvature to correct for this and pinholes need the curved film plane to make the image appear as seen. I tried to email Kurt from his site, hoping to purchase a camera, but the email was returned as an invalid email address. I even emailed the company that makes the panopin camera but no response and I really do not want to order something from a company that I do not know is still in business. Other plans I had were to purchase an old view camera and convert it to a really expensive pinhole camera. Or make up a fixed focal length large format camera using a 65 mm lens. Regardless, of my ramblings and tinkerings, I guess I should just take pictures more than design cameras. Then again I should use Mr. Au's camera more often as well. Its really a nicely made device, though I think its focal length is a bit too wide to my style of photography. Anyhow thanks for the reply. And if you can get in contact with Kurt let him know he might very well have a customer. Enjoy the rest of your day. CJ
Re: [pinhole-discussion] The panopin
I would be happy to send you some images of the camera, but I need to check with Kurt to make sure it's OK with him. I don't know if you are aware of a problem that Zernike Au of the Zero Camera Company has had with having his design stolen. I'll let you know when I hear back from Kurt.

negative scanner (was RE: [pinhole-discussion] The panopin)
Don, I would like to find out some more information about scanning negatives. Do you need a specialized scanner to do this, or merely something 'high-end'? Thanks, Shelley -Original Message- From: D.

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?

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
