Photography with movie film is the same as photography with a still camera,
it's still a function of film speed vs f/stop (aperture) vs shutter speed.
Usually, movie cameras are set for one shutter speed, so the f/stop is set
based on film speed (and perhaps adjusted by neutral density filters if
Ed: With humble gratitude to all on the list, I must confess I can't
imagine measuring a pinhole to the thousandths of an inch. You are right
that a Bolex with a pinhole would work wonderfully, too. I guess I was
hoping to bypass the need for a Bolex. I did build the camera. It

One last thing, if you construct your own camera, you will need to
create a film gate to avoid spillage of light from one frame to
another

bernard,
*For ASA, just use the one on the film can. For some color films, you
may need a filter and a little exposure correction for reciprocity
but I have shot long long exposures w/ B/W reversal, no troubles!
Call kodak's motion pic people at 1-800-621-3456 for more exact
reciprocity info
Wow silver. I would imagine that silver is extremely malleable
and could be thinned pretty easy with a hammer.
Personally I make pinholes the brute force way and use aluminum
or steel that have been discarded. I thin them with a grinder
both before and after drilling. I usually use a fine needle
These two questions may be no-brainers to most here, but I'd appreciate
some help:
1. What is the surface area of slide film, 135 - 36? (Or the surface
area of 120 or 220 - I don't even know what these numbers stand for.)
2. Where can I get exposure times for pinhole cameras? (Is there a way
Levi,
Silver is very malleable and it might not be hard to make your own. You can
place it in selenium toner for protection, but I think it would be a good
idea to let it tarnish in order to reduce flare.

I have used pinhole cut from aluminium plates (much thicker than 34
gauge, I suppose) and found that when shooting into the sun, the inner
side of the pinhole hole would send out reflections onto the film (much
the same as if you shoot with a standard camera into the sun, but a
