The film can camera has been used for both film and paper negatives. I use
paper in my class as most of the students have never done film developing.
Also because they can load/unload the cameras under safelight conditions.
Coke cans and soda cans are basically the same thing. Pringles snack is a
cardboard tube with a metal bottom(?) and a plastic cap. Virtually any
container that is light tight, or that can be made light tight, can be used
to make a camera. I think that starting with a film can camera and then
moving on to a found container or self designed camera is the best approach.
At least that is what I have found in my classes. A lot will depend upon the
age, experience, and sophistication of the students.
Happy Trails,
