Why buying a fancy digital camera, when you can have this:
A Free Pinhole Camera
A pinhole is a camera that uses a very small hole, as if made by a pin instead of a lens, for light to enter and form an image on the film or other light-sensitive medium.
- Download your camera (PDF Brochure)
- Download your camera (Zip File)
- Watch the animated guide in 3D
that help you through the building process
You can use a PAN film from Ilford or Neopan 100 from Fuji.
You can also use any 35 mm film.

Yeah, this is fun. Some people just won’t get it, but those who like to actually do things (as opposed to have them done for them) will enjoy the exploration here.

Camara gratis. Para descargar, cortar, pegar y montar.
Estupenda la idea que a tenido la empresa Linatree para darse a conocer. Su negocio es la impresión de originales de fotógrafos conocidos y la idea es que te descargues el pdf con los planos para fabricarte tu propia cámara….
