Thanks all of you.
My kids think I'm completely nuts and are
always curious what kind of camera
contraption I'm going to make next.
"daaaaaaaad!, not another
camera!!"
Hey it's fun, why not??

how big is the hole on this contraption?

tiny. I barely made a hole with the needle.
most of the blurring on the images is caused
by camera movement.

Hey all!
I'm likin' this little camera. I'm amazed
with how wide angle it is. And it was basic
to make. The hardest part was sanding the tin
and spray painting it. Once the paint was
dry, I cut the sides of the tin with an
Exacto blade. Pinched the metal down with
needle nose pliars (so the metal won't
scratch the film sliding over it). Then
loaded the film (see photo above)... then
started to shoot. It's that easy.

the tricky part is how to advance the film,

Thanks stitch. I never thought of myself as a
genius...
A bit crazy, but not a genius. :)
as for the film advance issue...
I jammed a little piece of flat metal into
the 35mm spool. And I crank that around 7
times. That seems to do the trick. I tend to
overwind so I don't overlap the images. I'm
still amazed how wide angle the shots came
out! Similar size neg as the XPAN.

Thanks formica... you should make something!
Yo lusch... good to see you here friend.
no longer than 4 seconds using 200ASA film.
The disctance from the hole to the film plan
is short. Thus allowing for shorter exposure
times.

doesn't the film tend to relax inside the
canister, making winding a two-part process :
1) take-up slack, 10) advance film

Cool! The ancester of my matchbox pinhole was
pretty much the same format. (but cardboard
rather than tin!) Seeing your colour shots
makes me wanna load it with film again!
luscher: A small piece of foam taped to the
underside of each canister will help increase
the friction and keep the film tight

cool! I need a tripod mount!
and thanks for that info about the film
slack in the cannister.
That is a problem with film advance. I'll
try your suggestion.

The tripod mount here was another high-tech

What do you do about film processing? Do it
yourself or take it to a lab? Is the lab
fine with a roll that has been sent into
another roll like that? For the pinholes, do
you just have them develop the film and then
scan the negs? Love your pinholes!

Thanks all of you ~ Just trying to keep it
"fun".
@Slightly Cynical ~ Good question. Make
sure you roll the film back into the original
spool (cannister). Cut the tape part OFF.
Film processors don't like tape in their
machines or chemicals.
I guess you can process your own film if
you have the equipment and know how to.
Hey thanks oji! ~ get your black spray
paint out and a nice sharp needle ;)

great idea! will regular photo processors
give you back prints of the wide angle style
ones that expose the whole film, notches and
all? i really like your idea of exposing the
whole section of film and just overwinding.
it makes for some very nice shots.
Posted 28 months ago.
( permalink

@Haiku Garry ~ No. The lab I use isn't able
to give me prints like you described. The
only way to get a print like that is to have
a "custom print" made. That involes
someone putting the neg in a 4x5 tray and
printing to a large piece of paper.
The best thing to do is have the film
scanned high res, and make a digital print
from your scan.

Cool! I've been doing single shots and it's

koukrâpock ~ not sure exactly how big the
hole is... I think it's smaller than ƒ32
though. I do know that I have been using 200
ASA film.
Ben ~ Cookies have more carbs. ;)
sgrah ~ Yeah!, don't let me have all the
fun! ~ make a pinhole and start having some
fun yourself! ~ all work and no play makes
sgrah a dull person.
wakejunkie ~ hmmmm interesting. I'd like to
try a supersampler...
Aeoki ~ It's got a very fancy black tape
shutter. The exposure time with 200 ASA film
is a bout 3-4 seconds in daylight situations.

*how do you calculate the exposure?*

( permalink

|

Thank you. & isn't Flickr is all about
sharing?
Each camera, depending on the pinhole size
will have it's own exposure time. With ASA
200 film it's about 2-3 seconds for a
daylight exposure.

Traci mentioned above...

Traci ~ I use a liberal amount of black photo tape. Don't be afraid to apply two layers of
tape. It will save you in the end. And
remember to wind the film back into the
original canister when you're done.
Posted 18 months ago.
( permalink

And the film doesn't get scratched going
through the metal slits? Or did you cover the
edge with the gaffers tape as well?

Hey chris, I'm building my camera right now!
But one question, when you load the film
through the camera, does this have to be done
in a darkroom/changing bag?
Posted 2 months ago.
( permalink

|
|
Jon - glad to hear about your new mintycam.
To answer your question, No you do not have
to load the camera in a light bag. You're
only feeding the front part of (leader) the
film only. After you connect the unexposed
film catridge to the take-up cartridge,
you're ready to tape the camera up to make it
light tight. Remember to use high quality
photo tape. I find it the best type for
keeping out light leaks. Good luck and let me
know when you get the photos back!

how many turns should I turn after one
picture?
Posted 2 months ago.
( permalink

|
|

Kwan - 2-3 full turns should do the trick.
Keep in mind, the MintyCam is ultra-wide
angle, so the image area is much larger than
you would get using a standard 35mm camera.
