In Reply to: Pinhole photography posted by Phil on April 28, 2001 at 19:32:37:: Another question. This may be a little unorthodox,
: but has anyone used their Graphic as a pinhole
: camera? Are there any pre drilled lensboards
: available for an application like this?
I use my Speed as a pinhole once in a while.
I have a spare lensboard that I tape the pinhole into with black
masking tape. The pinhole is made of brass shim stock, which is
available at hobby shops. You could make a "lensboard" out of black
foamcore- this is great stuff for making pinhole cameras. The wire
viewfinder is good for composing your picture, and the focal plane
shutter is handy, if you have a Speed. Make sure you drop the bed
if you are shooting wide angle stuff, or you will get a nice sharp
picture of the focus scales!
