Hawkeye 620 pinhole

I just finished this heavily modified Hawkeye Brownie box camera. After fixing various cracks and chips in the case, I pulled the lens out and enlarged the tiny fixed aperture. I then added a laser cut precision .4mm pinhole behind the shutter. After adding a tripod mount and a shutter cable release, she's ready to start shooting some medium format pinhole pictures.

 

Shot with my Nikon EM, 50mm e series lens, loaded with Ilford HP5 and self developed in D76. Kinda like the bokeh on the wide open lens.
