I am looking for above camera seller , I am not after overly engineered one , simple design and cheap price and high image quality.
Some people does use lots of bolts , lacquered thick wood or thick metal. I am looking for lightweight one.

that guy in poland who sells them under the Vermeer brand has one for about $140 in US dollars. Nicely made, very pretty.
 
Dead Link Removed Has a preorder open for a $140 6x17 pinhole. But the sample images they shared on the kickstarter did not impress me like those from the Reality So Subtle mentioned by kier above.
 
Anamorphic is not panoramic.

Anamorphic is distorted when viewed straight on and has to be viewed at an extreme angle.
 
Umut -- if it is simple and lightweight you want, cut the end off a beer can, paint the inside flat black with black primer paint, put a cap over the end with a pinhole in it and there you are -- single shot anamorphic camera using 4 by 5 inch film, very lightweight, very simple. You could easily make up half a dozen in an afternoon.

Something using 120 film requires a bit more engineering, of course.
 
summicron ,

I have 4x5 Agfa Brovira paper and I can use it with your ideas. :smile:

Mustafa, a beer can may be a little small for 4x5 paper.

I don't know how oatmeal offered in Turkey is packaged. In the US we can get it in fair sized (~130 mm diameter, ~ 240 mm high) pasteboard "cans" that have plastic caps. See http://www.quakeroats.com/product/hot-cereals/Old-Fashioned-Oats-Quick-oats.aspx to get an idea of what they look like. One of these might be better for your purposes than a beer can.

If I tried to use one of these as a pinhole camera I'd varnish it to make it stiffer and blacken the interior and cap.

Captured on 8x10 Tri-X in a Pringles potato chip can with a pinhole centered in one end. Exposure was varied from 20 to 200 seconds by sliding a sleeve up the can during the exposure.
