Re: Newcomer with questions

No need to buy a camera or spend more than $15 (including a pinhole).

I recently bought a Brownie Flash six-20 camera from the 1940s for $5.
These are plentiful in junk shops and ebay. You can remove its lens with
a screwdriver and replace it with a pinhole (available from
pinhole resources). Then it is capable of taking 6x9 images. You do have
to respool 120 film onto
620 reels, which you can do using the camera in the dark.

I am still testing it out with film but there is no reason this should
not work well.
