$20 6x9 Pinhole
This six minute exposure was taken with a Zeiss Ikonta from the 1930's. The conversion was very simple because the lens just screwed out, but this project was not without risk since I wasn't sure if the bellows were any good. The pinhole is brass shim stock taped to a doughnut of black core foam to fit the opening. I matched the hole to the focal length of 105mm.
The negatives have scratches that i'm guessing came from the corrosion inside that I hope I have fixed. I'll find out next week when I develope another roll. I added the level from a broken tripod in an effort to keep horizons where they belong. If I flex the body too much I can expect lightleaks also.
This landscape was taken on Efke 50 asa film under a shady tree on the Washougal River as the Sun came roaring out in the afternoon. I'm figuring that this camera shoots at F230.
I've been without a computer for a week now and only glancing at Flickr while at work. A co-worker sold me one of his spare computers that is miles faster than what I had, so maybe now I can get some work done.
