As per the advice I have received I will be sending my lens and shutter for a CLA, as soon as I can afford to. I am rather antsy to start playing with my 4x5 film, and use the Omega D2 I just took delivery of (with a gorgeous Schneider Durst Componon, almost perfect circle diaphragm :smile: ) I am going to build an adjustable 4x5 pinhole camera which can use the film holders I have. The only problem is that I have never even seen a 4x5 camera, so I have no idea how a spring back to use the holders would work. Would anyone be so kind as to explain this, or maybe even post some snaps of theirs so I could get an idea of how to do this? I guess I could just buy one, but that would take part of the fun of pinhole out of it! :smile: Thanks again,

Justin

Hi, since you can't really view an image on ground glass with a pinhole, you could just use rubber bands, velcro, gaffers tape or whatever to hold your film holder to the back of the pinhole camera.
