Meoda 8x10 camera in action
I made this camera for the Pinhole Day 2015. It's a free zoom/tilt/shift 8x10 camera for pinhole and lens photography. The name "Meoda" is made with the same materials as the camera: medis, metalas, medžiaga, oda (in Lithuanian, in English it would be "wood, metal, tissue and leather"). The standards are made of the finest European pine from Hornbach hardware store. The bellows - glued artificial leather and tissue. The flexible "ears" that connect the standards are four black flexible microphone stands. They make some 4/5-ths of the weight of the camera, which is good for stability, but their main function (together with bellows) is to provide a complete liberty of placing and directing the pinhole in front of the film. Meoda takes standard Sinar lens boards. I made for it a set of interchangeable magnetic pinholes of various sizes for different bellows extensions. I also use these pinholes in my other, smaller pinhole camera "Arkliukas".
