my 2nd pinhole roll

I thought I mentioned this, but got NO comments; I
thought they must have been UTTERLY unremarkable :O)

It takes me forever to shoot any film...I either wreck
it by subjecting it to three simultaneous experiments
at a time, or I change my mind and tear the camera
apart before I get started!

My first pinhole roll was a 35mm Kodak Retina Reflex
conversion. I was very disappointed with enlarged
prints and began pursuing larger format.

I recently converted another old Kodak
(35RF)http://uptowngallery.org/Murray/Pinhole/35RFPH/35.jpg
to pinhole, having transferred the same 0.25 mm
aperture to the second camera.

To avoid my resolution disappointment, I had the film
developed and scanned to CD, at whatever higher
resolution they do. This effectively gave me 'digital
enlargement' for viewing on a monitor only.

Roughly 41 mm f.l. , behind and using the existing
camera shutter.

I got 21 images and am amazed at either the exposure
latitude of the film or the fact that it pays off to
be careful about exposure...yet I hand counted 1-5
second exposures on an overcast day.

True to form I changed the camera again, but haven't
shot any film yet.
