A few days ago in another thread, limr said "I bet one of your plastic horrors could be modified!".
Well OK then...
Thinking that they are attending a casting call for props in a remake of that 50's hit Martian Car Wash Girls Invade Saskatoon, three Brownie Hawkeyes mistakenly wander into Dr. Frankendan's pinhole conversion lab.
A "volunteer" was selected, and reduced to a pile of bits
and a successful lens replacement preformed.
Unfortunately, the position of the pinhole disc, although a pretty good focal length, was in a tunnel created by the shutter assembly so the images although not bad for the first hole making attempt were heavily vignetted.
HP5+ mostly sunny 5 - 6 sec Image area on the 6x6 neg only 2 1/2 cm dia.
Back to the O.R. Enlarging the hole in the shutter plate possible, discarding it altogether possible as well but nice to have an internal shutter.
Placed the pinhole disc out front, seems to project a larger image now. I'll epoxy a nut to the bottom of the box for a tripod , and do another test drive.
..to be continued..
