Guy,
I'm doing just O.K.. But I am still out there doing pinhole. The people at the
photo lab are blown away with my new pinhole work. Sorry but you'll have to
wait a
bit before it comes out. I plan to do a small exhibit soon; the people who've
seen
some of the work are pushing me to do more, so
As an example of a not-so-big pinhole camera, I'll just mention "en passant"
that I converted my former office briefcase from my times as a financial
economist into an 8x10 pinhole. Works fine, sort of James Bondish look to
it... -:))
So, why not a suitcase? It would obviously have quite a wide

I've seen the tread on building 20 x 24 pinhole cameras here, and I recall that
another Norwegian, Jon Grepstad, has a website where he has put up some images
of a collapsible 20x24 camera. The website is

and he has a number of other items regarding building

from what I remember, foot lockers really do weight a ton.
I would wonder about the delivery box from a big (+32") TV...bet that would
do the trick.

I wonder if you could make a "really big" pinhole camera out of a suitcase
or foot locker from a garage sale? (sure you could and it would be
lighter, more stable, and already have a handle!)
I played with that camera a lot of years ago ('81/'82), think while it
was visiting the Museum School (attached to MFA Boston & Tufts). It is
indeed massive. Alas, we weren't allowed to take any photos with it.
IIRC, one reason it's so huge is the Polaroid processor and carriage
(wheeled) are built

I sometimes use a laser pointer to aim my pinhole. This works well on
cameras with a removable film back like 4X5's. You open the shutter and
shine the laser through the pinhole and will see the spot on the thing
you're taking a picture of. It's great for closeups where parallax is a real
problem.
I'm not very sophisticated about the different speed graphic models, but
the older ones are lighter and I agree that you will have no use for the
shutter so there's no point in paying for a more sophisticted one, or for a
big, heavy rangefinder.

The Speed is heavier, bulkier, and for what? A focal plane shutter
that you probably wouldn't be able to use for pinhole anyhow as the
shutter speeds will be too fast.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I am gathering from what you are
saying that you think the Crown would be a better choice ( more flexibility
for super wide angel) or did I miss something ( out of ignorance) about your
choice of the other Speed Graphic regarding the shutter options.

To learn lots more about the Speed Graphic cameras check
out www.graflex.org where you can learn about all the differences
between the various models. I have a Pacemaker Speed Graphic
that I have used for pinhole work. I chose the Speed Graphic
over the Crown Graphic in order to have the focal pl
