This is very nice!!
How many layers of RBM coating did you use?
And did you first coat the paper with gelatine or something?
Thanks Bert.
I I only used one coat of RBM and no gelatin or anything. The goal was just to test how well the emulsion worked in a Lith developer.

I'm finally scanning my images. The images from the Zero Image (6x9) seem to be over-exposed but salvageable. I'll post some later.
The PinHolga (6x6) did better. Here is one image I'm considering to upload to the WPPD (Fuji NPC 160 expired, 10 sec.):
"Following the truck for about 280 meters in 10 seconds"

Very interesting -- a different take on "zooming!" A pinhole dash cam.

I like this a lot.

This is a beautiful image - and well developed!

Thanks. I was a little leery of the superwide arrangement of the ONDU (it's about the equivalent of a 12mm focal length in 35mm) but I've warmed up to it. Takes a little getting used to to, but you can do some pretty neat things with it. The new one with the guidelines on top should be easier to use right out of the box.
I'm curious what's with all the excitement over Kickstarter pinhole cameras when there's a decent existing foundation of really cool and neat Pinhole cameras available already? My first thought is Zero Image who make gorgeous cameras. At $103 their 6x6 is more expensive than the ONDU 6x6 available thru the KS campaign but the ONDU one will retail for quite a bit more later ($123). Frankly I think the Zero Image are better looking but that's just my opinion. But really, I know we want to support analog photography but if it's nothing really new vs what else is existing, why? Because they're new and hip?

Hi Richard,
I admit it, in my case the answer is probably yes: because it's a nice looking camera - but still a pinhole camera and you can never have enough of these ....
GAS
And because I like wood working and this is a nice piece of wood working to me.
And yes, I already have too many pinhole cameras, like:
- Holga 120PC (6x6 cm),
- Zero Image (6x9 cm),
- Holga 120WPC (6x12 cm),
- Noon (6x12 cm) (two actually but these are really good looking),
- Natasha (6x17 cm),
- Santa Barbara (4x5 inch) (my first bought pinhole camera),
- Luminos Obscura large tin camera,
- several homebuild wooden cameras in different sizes and forms,
- Agfa Clack, Agfa Click and Gevabox rebuild into pinhole camera.
But I shoot them all depending on the occasion and my mood. And the Ondu might be just the right size to fit in my coat pocket or the glove compartment of my car for that unsuspecting-but-not-to-miss opportunity. Never leave home without a pinhole camera. ((there was a url link here which no longer exists), help me out here, please ....).
Oh, Did I mention I'm still missing a nice Vermeer (6x17 curved film plane) and a beautifully designed and build Kurt Mottweiler pinhole camera ...
BTW: I'd rather have the digital age youngsters buy a somewhat expensive designer Ondu than a much overpriced Lomography camera as an introduction to analogue photography.

From WPPD:
Perhaps I'm just more "pinhole receptive" this year, but I thought there were a higher percentage of really impressive submissions; interesting concepts well executed and some intriguing cameras too. Of course there are always dozens from groups of kids punching holes in various containers that are at the bottom in terms of results, but that may be one of the most important WPPD functions as it introduces the magic to a new generation. And even some of those captured other members of their group or historic buildings in a way that shows they have an eye for the concept.
Alas, 3450 out of a world population of 7 billion may not make it a mass movement, but there was quite a broad global representation out there. That for sure is a Good Thing(tm).
I hope to be out there for WPPDs well into the 2020s!

Hi Dave,
I had that feeling too. I've seen quite some very good pinhole images: quality wise and inspirational wise.
I hope it's an encouragement for lots of folks to start tinkering and testing for next years WPPD - always the last Sunday in April!!
