Lee,
That's from a pinhole?? I'm amazed! The ones I remember were very grainy and
you could hardly make out what the picture was. This looks more like a large
format print! Now I'm a believer.....

the brownie, 120, no lens, full sun,
had depth of field about 80 yards deep.
i have a picture of me, 8 years old standing
in our front yard.
i can see the house numbers on a house 4 houses down.
and a gas sign, clear as a bell. 18.9 a gallon...zephyr gas.
just can't use that camera for pix for ceramics monthly.
sherman just stamps his foot. `mel, don't use that brownie any more.`

hi mel,
for depth of field, there's always a pin-hole camera...just use an old
quaker oats box (cylinder), exposure is around 15 seconds :) i remember
making one in a highschool photo class. they were fun.

Hi Andy,
What fun...golly...
Yahhhhhh.."e-bay" is cool...and by far, the best place to
find things anymore which otherwise are not so readily found
or acquired.
It is ( the last? or anyway, at least ) a true,
straightforward Marketplace...
I myself, took a great many pictures with a quite small, 127
format 'Vest Pocket Kodak' as was quite early in their
series for the rolled film, rather than useing the sheet
fillm holders as the earlier ones did, which for a quite
small palm sized Camera was a funny thing to have to be
carrying bunches of to be useing. So I opted for the 127 for
it's elegance that way.
As a kid, and into my late twenties, I took many hundreds of
images with nary a disappointment I can recall.
Shutter settings as "T", "B" 1/25th and 1/50th,
or the likes. Had the earlier 'American Standard' ( is it?)
Numbering method predateing the 'f-stop' for the
iris...enumerated I think as 1, 2, 3, 4 or the likes.
I do not have it anymore or I could refresh my memory on
it's details...but I allways had good success with it in any
lighting conditions or occasions...a joy to use...
(I just this second, deteured and did a fast e-bay search,
and
sure as hell,
there popped up an autographic version, languishing for the
price of lunch...and other versions languishing for the
price-of-lunch also...)
...for which, among many, see
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11717&item=3858669493&rd=1
Actually, there are many of them on there in the Auctions,
Autographic and non-autographic versions...
generally languishing.
If anyone wishes to get into a very sweet and attractive,
elegant even, 127
Camera for snap-shots of reliable outcome and quality, one
would certainly be pleased with the charms of the little
Vest Pocket Kodak...
I understand - and did not know this before - from this
little serendipitous e-bay look-see, that this was the model
Camera Sir George Mallory elected for his foray onto Mount
Everest, for which, a better testimonial or recommendation,
could not be had...but then too, I think there had been a
sad outcome from weather and so on...mmmmm...eeeeesh.
But still...
Best wishes,
Phil

I have a mahogany pinhole camera I bought from Zero Image
http://www.zeroimage.com/ It uses 120 film, which is actually
better than 35mm because of the larger flim size.
Pinhole images are remarkable. I wish I had more time
to work with them.
I want a digital pinhole camera so I don't have to fool
around with the processing. Here are a couple of my pinhole images.

Dear Sue,
There is a fantastic amount of optical science behind the working of a
pinhole camera. Get the hole over large and the image blurs. Get it
extra small, diffraction obliterates the image. Use two pinholes and
there should be some unusual patterns of light and dark.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
