--- Patrick Barrett barrettpatr...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello Pinholers, I beleive I've read something here in the not too distant past about replacing the lens and shutter of a disposable camera with a pinhole. I've searched the archives to not much avail. Hey, I've tried doing this with disposables, and it's kindof a pain -- thin plastic, tiny/breakable parts, and often wierd film handling (sometimes APS,sometimes unexposed film in an roll *outside* the film canister, and rolled *into* the film canister as you go). I've found it easier to hunt down cheap 35mm give-away type cameras at thrifts stores -- I can usually find enough for $1-$2 if I visit several stores -- and modify them. They usually open up pretty easily with a small screwdriver, and then I carefully remove the lens shutter mechanism (sometimes screwed in place, sometimes snapped in place) and replace it with a pinhole, leaving the film advance mechanism in place (so you press the old shutter button to release the film to advance to the next frame). On some of the cameras, I can modify the sliding lens cover so it acts as a shutter -- this usually involves cutting off a little plastic tab that prevents you from pushing the film advance button (the old shutter button) with the lens cover closed. Make sense? If you haven't tried this, grab a couple and try them -- I think you your students will be happier with the results... -- pw __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
