Wel bugger me. I should just make my own. I have a laser

I built a pinhole camera a couple years ago and I bought a ready made pinhole but for the life of me I can't remember where I actually bought it. Anyone know where I can buy a premade pinhole? Cheers. Mark.

Version 3.1

Found this on my local Hospice eBay page. Seems a good deal, hell the Fuji Superia is worth a few quid. Canon EOS 300 28-80 and 75-300 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326100444690?itmmeta=01HWBCFFFGW3TBVRVWKE92NQEV&hash=item4bed19e612:g:sIkAAOSw01RmJkbx

Very poor show IMO, if they have screwed up then they should own it. To just ignore your attempts to resolve it just isn't on. I will imagine they will be shutting up shop soon enough, the analogue community is pretty tight and word will soon get around. Shame really as I do like to see people...

Well I managed to fix the stuck aperture. A light bit of lighter fluid and opening and closing the blades has loosened the blade up nicely. What wasn't nice was braking the solder connection of the meter, very fiddly to re-solder. But glad to say it still seem accurate for a 70 year old meter.

I have already built a similar system.

Thank you @AndrewFlannigan for that suggestion. That would work well but I have designed my own but its still remains to be seen if it scratches a negative. Version 2 This one uses a step up ring rather than fitting over the lens like the previous version. I also need to extend the tube...

I have tried a small LED and a speedlight. I also need to add some defusion.

Taking inspiration from the classic Slide copier I designed a 35mm DSLR scanner thingy. It is still a work in progress though, currently using an old film holder from a cheap scanner. It's designed for my particular macro lens but no reason it couldn't be adapted for other lenses. Next step...

Took a chance on a £10 Petri 7s and in general the camera is in great condition, the meter seems to be accurate enough but the aperture blades are stuck. At this price I may try to fix it.

Yes I believe so.

So the camera repair shop Newton Ellis in Liverpool is to close this year.

Intrepid cameras have been working on the new lens and shutter. Great to see some innovation. https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/blogs/stories/the-intrepid-lens-shutter-project
