Sure, the PinBox’s robustness and accuracy depends almost entirely on the builder, and it’s so light that even a breath can cause some shake, but still, it’s a great piece of kit.

In about an hour, for $20 or $30, plus a few dollars for some glue, you can go from some pieces of heavyweight paper and some 3d printed knobs to a functional pinhole camera, with all the necessary parts and functionality of every other camera, of virtually any type, from Ibn al-Haytham’s book of Optics a millennia ago, through Niépce, Daguerre, and Fox-Talbot, right on through to your iPhone and whatever new cameras just came out at PhotoKina or whatever.

It’s virtually impossible to slide the paper shutter back and forth over the pinhole without introducing some amount of camera shake.īut if you have a stable surface and hold the camera down firmly while you slide the shutter open and closed, well, it’s pretty sharp, as you’d expect an acid etched pinhole to be, and given the fun I had putting it together, it was well worth the $20 I paid for one.Īs a learning tool, the PinBox is brilliant, and very useful and fun for young and old alike.

The lighter the camera, the harder it is to handhold for any length of time, and 2 seconds is way too long to try to handhold, unless you’re after a Jon Wilkening-type result.

I employed the excellent Pinhole Assist app to set my exposure times, and it went fine. In use, it’s a tiny bit fiddly, but really, very easy to use. Here’s how it stands up against the Olympus XA…

You can get smaller and larger pinholes to play around with, and I’m thinking of ordering up a set of all six: 100microns (f/300), 150microns (f/200), 200microns (f/150), 250microns (f/120), 300microns (f/100), and 600microns (f/50).*Īs far as size goes, I’m lazy and haven’t measured my shoddy PinBox, but it’s not much taller than a roll of 120, and just slightly too thick to fit comfortably into a loose pocket. Some tech stuff, now: my PinBox has a 150micron pinhole, which is roughly ideal for its 30mm focal length and translates to something like f/200. And I really need to clean the windows, again.īut other than that, the PinBox makes a competent camera! And I live a fairly boring life, especially now that I work from home: work, nap, go to the gym, nap, and do it all again. Look closely… You can easily see that my aspect ratio frame thing isn’t anything like square. I hated Delta 100 in D76, but it looks good in highly dilute HC. By the way, I developed this in Ilfotec HC 1:47 for 7.5 minutes, and I love the results.
