RE: Slit Camera

Hi Erin,

There was a good discussion on slit making in this list in February of
this year. Here is a link to the pinhole discussion list archive for
Feb, 2005.

Marnie Cardozo, who designed the only commercial slit camera that I
know of, passed away recently. Eric Renner's Pinhole Resource was the
only place to buy these cameras, and they are not listed on his site
anymore. One sold on eBay a couple of years ago - way too cheap, in
my opinion, but you could check there.

In his book "Pinhole Photography" THIRD EDITION, Eric Renner has a
good long piece on Michael Wesely's slit work. pp 221-222.
