Took the bellows off and closed the front of the body with plywood, tape and pinhole. Extreme wide angle, about 20mm. Stuck the bellows and lens to an old body cap to make a 'lensbaby', probably more a lensgrandad. Fun.

My favourite pinhole was a 'throwaway' (well not quite that, but sub-budget) Halina compact with a panoramic mask to it - that strangely worked quite well. I caught onto that after trying to make my own cameras and being defeated by a reasonable film transport every time. At least with hacking a consumer compact the hard work is done for you.<br /><br />Herman Sheephousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187303211437458425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635427135333425336.post-19125119892907075302016-05-16T23:19:33.049-08:002016-05-16T23:19:33.049-08:00Hear, hear...tried the Leica snapshot as well, wit...Hear, hear...tried the Leica snapshot as well, with 0% success rate...an avenue not worth pursuing, for me.<br /><br />I you are fond of "perversely pleasing" photos - as I am - try pinhole photography.
