Photography and Cameras: 120 Pinhole Camera

After my professor saw my 35mm pinhole camera, she loaned me hers.  It was made in Germany and uses 120 roll film.  Its shutter has a really nice sliding door design and has no light leaks.  This is photo of the front of the camera.  Notice the sliding shutter.


This is a photo of the back of the camera.  The hole in the back allows you to see the film numbers as the take-up reel is turned.  This tells you when to stop turning.  The text on the back, "Sun = 2 sec, 400 ASA"  means that the aperture is f/512 and on a sunny day, the exposure should be for 2 seconds if you are using 400 ASA/ISO film like Tri-X 400.


This was a very nice pinhole camera.  I'll post one photo from it.
