Re: Finney is Back!

Yes, but the camera is such a beautiful object amidst my homespun devices.
It is so well made with choice materials; it's an absolute pleasure to work
with it!

Brigitte.

I saved myself all kinds of money by not buying the camera and simply
making
several different pinholes corresponding to different bellows extensions.
I
even made lens holders from pie pan bottoms. Whenever I use my Pacemaker
Crown
Graphic for pinhole, I understand that the money I saved by doing this will
allow me to buy more film and (especially) paper.
