I have just completed my first pinhole camera The Badger Mark 1 35mm, I was going to make an elaborate shutter and Include a rewind knob (which i drilled the hole for hence the tape on the top) but as I had already noted some improvements that the Mark 2 could use whilst I was building it I decided to go for the easy method on using a tape shutter, the elastic band is to keep the tension on the take up spool.It will shoot over the sprocket holes as it is set up at the moment.The back is screwed on at the moment but the Mark 2 will have a hinge and fastening of some type with foam to seal it, At present it just has a card board gasket. I've took a couple of shots but will take it out in the morning the pinhole is 0.25mm and the focal length is 75mm which give me a sunny day exposure of just under 2 seconds.Once the film is finished I will have to remove the screws then rewind it in the dark. Please note the master Craftsman wood work skills and use of super special photography tape.
