Another suggestion. Find an old Brownie box camera that takes
120 film and that has time exposure capability. They should
be $5.00 or so. It is easy to take the lens out and put in
a pinhole. Then you will have 6x9 cm images instead of 35mm
and can still get commercial processing. I mostly do paper negatives
with home made cameras and do the processing in my darkroom. I just
made a stereo pinhole camera out of a cookie tin. It was a great
excuse to by a box of chocolate cookies.
