Re: [pinhole-discussion] request for off-list discussion of pinhole view camera with homebrew lens optionlens
I think he moved to France. He brought that camera in one day but I never got a good look at it. I'd love to make one like the one that he had - the photos that I saw were great! If I remember correctly it was basically the same as a foamcore pinhole camera except that it had a paper lens turret that was adjustable for different focal lengths. I've looked for instructions on making something simple(?) like that but I haven't found them. I've checked amazon every so often for alan's book - I'm going to go buy it now that I know it's out.

I took one a couple years ago. Besides pinhole, we made 8x10 cameras with simple lenses, just like old box cameras. I think he got the lenses from Edmund Scientific. We never used anything as complicated as a two element lens. I haven't heard from him in a while so I don't know if he is still in the Cambridge area.

Hello: Excuse the partial diversion from pinhole - I am thinking about what to do with an 18" x 24" bellows I picked up - definitely pinhole first, but I would like to have the option of experiementing with a lens - and the only affordable way would be a homebrew lens. Is there anyone here who has any experience with simple 2-element lenses with insertable Waterhouse stops willing email off list about some of the basics of such a camera? Thanks Murray
