Re: Altoids Tins as cameras?

Mike,

I built one on pinhole day. I'll let you know as soon as I have
processed the film.

I pierced a slot on one edge to install a 35mm cartridge and another on
the opposite edge to install a take up cartridge. Installed a pinhole
on top (.025mm), painted the inside in balck, taped the whole thing
light tight with electrical tape. You turn the spool on the take-up
cartridge (pure guess work) to advance the film.

Et voilà, you should have a pretty neat pocket PH. (If you want to be
fancy, you can tack double-sided tape on the back and get you camera to
stick on the wall...

Cheers,

Guy
