Re: Zero 2000 Pinhole Camera 6x6 Teak on Ebay

Hi Diana--

Actually, the newer multi-format that Zernike makes for 120 film have
much easier to read frame counters, with a sliding cover for use during
exposure. They are larger than the original camera, because they can
expose frames from 6x4.5 up to 6x9. They can be purchased either pinhole
or zone plate. I also have an original Zero 2000; the film numbers are
hard to read, but I've never had a problem with fogging from simply
getting enough sunlight on it for a few seconds in order to read the
numbers.
