Re: Finney is Back!

Hi Bill,

Buying the turret from Calumet is more cost-effective than buying a
new Finney camera in most cases.

Something to be aware of: I checked with Calumet recently and the
turrets they currently have in stock have a different range of
pinholes and zone plates than the standard Finney camera.

Camera from Pinhole Resource):
    4 pinholes (for focal lengths of 40mm, 75mm, 150mm, 200mm)
    3 zone plates (for focal lengths of 75mm, 150mm, & 200mm)

Turret from Calumet:
    features four pinholes (75, 150, 300 and 450mm) and
    three zone plates (75, 150 and 300mm).
