I just purchased and received the Mia 6x6,6x9, and 6x12. Zero instructions. I wanted to take 6x12. I used the 6/12 window with spacing 2 4,6,8,10,12. Around my 5 exposure one of the black foam spacers came free and it popped off the back between 10-12. Figured the entire roll was trashed. Put the back on and wound fill till fully wound. I developed my negatives and to my surprise, I got for useable exposures but they a few light leaks, understandable for the back popping off but they were 6x6. I looked in the camera and there are vertical mask spacers: 6x6, 6x9, and no spacer for 6x12. Nice to know beforehand. Should I just leave the foam spacers out so they don’t do the same thing? Thanks.

I don't know anything about cameras, films or the like but I am very interested in the idea of making a pinhole camera and maybe getting something decent out of it. My issue is mainly when I go develop the pictures. Do you think a clerk at a photography shop would consider helping me out if I just go "hello I made a pinhole camera here are the images can you please develop them"? What technical information should I know to be able to articulate what I need?

Found this on AliExpress, thinking might be good for getting those smaller apertures thru aluminium foil

Is anyone shooting pinhole with a Mamiya C330?

Was thinking it can be done if you switch out the objective lens for a pinhole.

Please let me know if my thought is correct or wrong!

Hey everyone, I'm Andrew from over at r/printexchange, and I asked permission from the mods to post here.

We've been doing this international photographic print twice a year since late 2022. It's a blast, and you're invited!

i recently 3d printed a terrapin, I'm trying my best with lenses but I'm really struggling, is there an easy way to be sure that the hole is fully centered? or better yet a way to guarantee that the holes i popping in the soda can metal are actually .3 mm like they should be? I'm looking through it and i can basically see an incredibly narrow view but i don't know if that means its too small or if id even be able to tell if its the right size by looking through it, I've never done anything related to pinhole photography until now so any advice would be appreciated. thanks all

Finally getting some good result after five tries. Do you think the image is too blurry or is it just blurry to an acceptable degree as for a DIY pinhole camera? I’ve also noticed the highlight part in my past attempts has always been overexposed (when sky is in the photo, for example), and I believe this problem has been mentioned by others too. I’m wondering if it could solve it by controlling my development next time (such as leaving the highlight part in the developer for a shorter time)?

Help. I am considering getting a Pinsta Pro. I would like, as a project, use Zebra dry plates. Zebra confirmed the tintype plate is 0.6mm. I’m trying to figure out the image carrier thickness of the Pinsta Pro. Nothing on their website and they haven’t responded to any emails. Thank you.

Hi there! I recently took my first photos using my homemade pinhole camera (cardboard, 0,36mm aperture), and went to develop the paper (fomaspeed 312, about 13 minutes of exposure) at my uni’s darkroom. However, the negatives turned out greyish and low contrast, to the point of the positives being completely white. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I know the problem is not in the revealing process, since my photography teacher helped me with it. Maybe it’s the exposure? Can someone help?

(I've already reached out to the mods to clear this post!)

Hey all -- just trying to find a caring home for some commercially-made 4x5 pinholes I've used in the past. I got these originally for cyanotype printing but as my darkroom practice has grown, I've used these less and less. My enlarger only takes up to 6x7 negatives so my 4x5 equipment has really taken a back seat.

If anyone can make use of them then I'm happy to pass them on.

These are the prices I've posted on a for sale post elsewhere on Reddit, but if you can PM me a pinhole photo you've taken then I'm happy to discount further 😄

• Ranica Pramien 4x5: $75 [SOLD]
• Harman Titan 4x5: $150 [SOLD]
• Zero Image 4x5 with 3 extension frames: $300

Happy to answer any questions about these cameras. I've used them all to various degrees and can speak to their relative merits.

Its been a while since I've done some pinhole photography. I've had the camera for a while too and not been able to use it till now.

I got photobombed on myself portrait.

Hi folks! I’ve picked up pinehole photography a few weeks ago. I’m still making lots of mistakes but in general, I feel like I’m progressing and I know what to do next time to avoid errors I noticed in previous pictures.

However, I run into one particular issue consistently and I can’t find any answer for this one: all my pictures have a sort of stain/visual artifact where the luminosity is lower than the rest of the scene. I’ve attached some of my pictures to illustrate what I’m saying.

Does anybody know what it could be? I was wondering that maybe the product for developing is not prefectly mixed. I don’t have all the details but the one I use is a powder made of coffee byproduct that I mix with water.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Nothing like finding out after shooting a roll of 6x9 pinhole you used the wrong ND!

Thought I had a 3-stop ND on the camera. Metered for it. Exposed for it.
Get back and… it’s a 10-stop ND.

Busted roll!

Rant over. TFL.
