Re: film canister cameras

When I made my film cannister camera, I made a separate pinhole from aluminum
pie pan stock and affixed it to the inside of the cannister. I don't think
that it will work too well to just poke a hole in the plastic (well, for some,
this may be what they are looking for, but it just isn't my style).

Cheers -
