I know about diffraction thanks. We are each trying to find our own way of working, which me for me involves learning about all different ideas. Ive met some very polite and helpful on here who have sent me useful links and Im grateful.

Thankyou

This is a great link thanks :). Kind of why I switched to a lens..to enjoy the sharper focus + built in shutter.

Thats great..I'll take a look . Many thanks.

Hello, Part confusion probably is I started off using pinhole and am now using a glass lens. Im using a glass lens with the focal length 16.5 exposing a paper negative Most paper has been 100 ISO (currently just ordered some with no ISO number written on it) Making exposure in daylight using...

Thankyou...Its what I tried, but I had a day of test shots and no consistent results. Perhaps there are other underlying issues that need to be ironed out.

Okay, thanks for your messages. Maybe I should have framed it "Working out exposure times for a pinhole hybrid" I have a hand held light meter and cant seem to get it right, which was making me question that my focal ratio was correct. The lens I am using is a carl Zeiss Jena f 16.5 (its a...

I bought a Polaroid Now I-type camera, Keith Herring edition. I love polaroid cameras and Keith Herring, so very excited about this one.

Hey, Hope everyone's keeping well. I've found this forum really useful and hoping I can get some advice on this. I have built another box camera hybrid and need to work out the exposure times. I have a hand held light meter, but can't seem to get the focal ratio right somehow. Im using a lens...

Good Luck with the Klito Magic. I noticed the falling plate system which is super. You can get pop up portable darkroom's which don't cost an arm and a leg, if you get stuck for a darkroom/space. All the best with it.

SO COOL!! Thanks for sharing. Yes it looks like an afghan box camera, in that it looks durable and portable for street work. Can't wait to see the images it produces.

Thanks 👍

Thats great thanks for that. I think it'll have to be extremely basic maths for me!! but I sure will give it a go + look forward to reading this in a mo.

Thankyou..

Thats great thanks for that...yes its an 8x10 paper negative...I'd been testing out on f8 with my black foam board version of the camera. Now I have this one (with a moveable focal plate)...I can experiment further with the f stops. I was concerned at the initial super shallow depth of focus...
