Beseler sold a cardboard 6x9 pinhole kit a few years ago. I think
Ilford may also have sold the kit. It came with a 120 roll of Ilford
film.

I see that Freestyle Photo nows sells this kit with their Arista.EDU
400 B&W film.

I build one when they first came out. It's an OK camera with some
interesting construction details. The film winding knobs are half of
a 120 spool with a metal tab in the slot to mate it to the film spool
for winding. The shutter could be accidently opened, so I used a
rubber band to keep it closed. It is a bit light weight and is easily
buffed by the wind. It doesn't have quite the same fit and finish of
the Zero Imaging 6x9 Multi-Format. :)
