RE: New to List

Hey there & Welcome...
Instead of gluing the ph to the camera how about finding a body cap,
drilling it out & gluing the ph to it? Makes it much easier to get off in
case you want to use a lens...
have fun

  Hi fellows,

  Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ming-Sung Lin, living in
Taiwan, just next to China (hope you know where I'm). I'm mainly enjoying my
6x6 B/W photos, just too much to think about when taking photos, while spent
much more time in darkroom to print those films (my wife hates that.)

  Just joined this forum about 2 monthes ago, and finally found a wooden
case, which just packed for 2 bottles of red-wine-- a gift from friend.
Bought a flat-black spray paint, used screw-driver to get a hole (might be
about 1" round). Cut coke can, drilled hole. After maaaany testing (with B/W
paper), I finally got the print (negative). Well, I took it in my living
room in the night, with light on. Not too long, only 27 mm. Later on, I took
another on in our kitchen-- only one hour.

  After developed the negative (paper), not only myself, but, also my
daughter and son + my wife were amazed. I showed both negatives to my
friends. They only said "How can it be???".

  I'm now thinking, also processing, to get my Zorki 4 (a Russian Leica copy
screw mount RF) into my pinhole camera. Take off the lens. I cut a pcs of
foil, drill the hole, might be around f/250, blackened the foil. After
drilled the hole, I use oil-stone to grind the burr while watering. I'm now
thinking to tape the pinhole by silicone to the camera??? Have to try error.

  BTW. There is still Kodak Royal 100 film in my Zorki 4, might be still 10
frames. However, I'm going to get a try. Should be interesting. I'll be
pleased to report to all of you about my experiement.

  what next? Anyone ever thinks about to put a camera, SLR, RF, inside a
pinhole camera?? I've seen photo from magazine to blacken bedroom, while
left a small hole as pinhole, while set another camera to record the
imagine. Should be interesting.

  Best Regards,

  Ming-Sung
