Pinhole cameras made from tin cans, match boxes, mint tins and a cracker box. They use 35mm film or light-sensitive photo paper as negatives.

The one in the back left was purchased on ebay, and I haven't used it. Some day I will, but it doesn't appeal to me as much as the handmade cameras.

Funny, I see a compositional flaw in this photo, now that the set-up is put away. It is way too heavy on the right. Some day I'll have to correct that.

Shots from a recent camera obscura in Baltimore, MD

This was supposed to be a candid shot, but the camera shy girl turned and rushed into her courtyard. The Nikon's stellar AF performance has saved the day once again.

Rangefinder cameras and lenses made by Canon and Nikon were discovered by US photojournalists covering the Korean war in 1950; the discovery came as a shock similar in its own way to that of the war itself, and it presaged the end of the era of German dominance at the top level of optics and photography.

You can get a general sense of just how unexpected this discovery was by taking a look at this passage that appeared in Popular Photography Magazine in 1946: rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-136.html

Many of the early cameras were made especially for sale in the PX (Post Exchange) shops to US military personnel. This is one of those examples, as indicated by the red diamond and the letters "E-P" engraved on the top cover.

This is a product shot of my Nikon D2H camera with the 50mm f/1.8 lens. This camera is for sale if you are interested.

Strobist info: SB-600 in softbox, camera left, SB-600 in shoot-through umbrella, camera right, using CLS in Manual settings. triggered using pop-up flash in -- mode.

This Expo Watch Camera was introduced in 1905. It was designed to look like a pocket watch. The "winding stem" is the lens. A reflex finder is slipped over the winding stem. The daylight loading cartridge produced twenty five 5/8 x 7/8 inch exposures.

This camera even with the 80 MM lens takes some effort to hold. Looks like the tripod will get some face time

Picked this up in an antique store in central Virginia (USA). Needed some cleaning but mechanically in good shape. Probably close to a Brownie no. 2 in optical quality but takes 120 film like the Agfa Box 50. Unfortunately, I couldn't find much information on this camera or the manufacturer available on the web.
