DIY 4X5 Pinhole Camera.

[@edsmelly]

For those asking for camera dimensions. The width and height are determined by the size of the film holder. The depth is determined by the focal length that you want. In other words the size of the camera is determined by which recording medium and the focal length your using.

[@simonspargo5620]

do you have a link for where you got the film holder?

[@firmaleggibile4130]

@@simonspargo5620 those are 4x5 film holders. You can find them on ebay but be prepared because they are not the cheapest thing. Consider also price for film in 4x5 sheet and developing which is also expensive as it needs to be done by some advanced lab as it is not a standard process

This is one of my favourite videos on this subject, I really like that there is only music it is beautiful. I have watched it a lot of times so far :) I am going to attempt to build these for my students. Thank you for going to the effort to share this project and some of your process!

[@chriscard6544]

did you build one ?

[@nowayout5249]

Excellent! Very attractive camera and one of the best instruction videos for this type of camera.

[@NoSomosAmigos]

Well done, can you share the camera dimensions?

[@hobbyaddict9908]

Not a bad video but I for one really enjoy narration, even a voice over narrative. Fills in the blanks such as what material, what glue and paint worked best. Why weld up tripod mounts instead of using a t-nut. how to choose location of tripod mounts and pinhole (how to center the pinhole).

[@TPeters-nl3fl]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting. I've been analysing on repeated views before making my own attempt - not sure I have your workshop skills. What is the focal length of your model?

[@algernonmarks2036]

Well filmed brilliant simple idea

[@flam3srock]

I'd love to see more photos from this.

I now have to find every tool I don't own to make the same !

[@SilntObsvr]

Every tool in this video has a cheaper substitute. Even the materials of the camera are negotiable. I've made dozens of pinhole cameras from "found objects" like Altoids tins, and I'm building up a collection of the tins my loose leaf tea comes in for 2x3 and 4x5 curved film pinhole cameras. Even in wood, you can use simpler tools (hand held drill with hole saw instead of Forstner bit in drill press, hand saw or circular saw instead of table saw, etc.) and still get results that will work well, if not be as pretty as these.

very creative i love this video!

[@JakeHellbach]

could you share the dimensions of the camera pieces?

[@ValleyinFilm]

Great camera. Love how clean it looks. Would love to try myself. However I’m not as skilled in woodworking

[@JamesPearson]

Very nice indeed, great video of a fantastic build.

You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.

@Lane Zaiden instablaster :)

[@lanezaiden7192]

@Aaron Maximus thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@lanezaiden7192]

@Aaron Maximus it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@aaronmaximus6806]

@Lane Zaiden no problem =)

[@alzathoth]

any thoughts on possibly modifying this design for a 6x7 rollback for 110 medium format?

[@zonnyc]

What's that black screen looking thing? 0:52
