My collection of cameras grew again today, it is definitely a disease and I think I like the treatment :D Here are the two I picked up today, a Bolsey B2 for $12 with leather case and a Voigtlander Vito B with leather case and clear filter for $35, the only thing I did to them was dust the lenses, not a bad deal I think.

Here is the current collection

The C3, AE-1, Bolsey and Voigtlander all have film loaded and ready to go, just need to make sure I have one on me at all times now :D |

Look like homemade pinhole cameras. |

"Look like homemade pinhole cameras."
I agree about the red box.
But now what's with the tin can?

Yes the red box is a 120mm roll film pinhole camera and the tin is a 1-quart paint can camera for paper negatives, you can actually buy one commercially made for $10 or so but I only paid $1.50 or so for the can and poked a hole in it, gets you the same thing. The red box works but I need to redo the pinhole, its too big and doesn't focus properly.
Here are the specs for the red box, if anyone is interested.
Inches MM
----------
Focal Length 1.8 44
Pinhole Diameter 0.011 0.28
f Stop f 158
Film Dimension 3.2 81 (Diagonal)
Angle Of View 84.6 Deg (Wide angle)
Coverage diameter 3.36 85.344
The paint can is still untested. |

Is it possible to post some pictures of the results. I use a Lensbaby Composer on my digital it has interchangeable lens one of which is a Pinhole/zoneplate just wondering if it gets similar results to the real thing. |

Here you go, as mentioned the pinhole is a little big and it doesn't focus sharply.

I picked up a Polaroid Colorpack 2 today at a thrift store for $3 that I am also going to turn into a pinhole camera, here is the link to the Youtube video on how to make it.
