Pinhole Instax?

[eli griggs]

Playing with some Instax film, I'm wondering what results, methods, images, others are getting.

So far, my Hasselblad is not yet yielding good results with a F256 manufacturers cap fixture.

How are you lighting, naturally occurring light, strobes, how many flashes, LEDS, super close, etc?

If you can, share your happy and not so joyful results so we can get some ideas of our own.

Cheers and Godspeed!

Can you expand your answer above? What are you getting? e.g under / over exposed prints etc.

Most of my recent pinhole work has been a piece of cooking foil / aluminium sheet pushed into the lens aperture of a 35 mm Pentax MZ5N slr, and then a safety is used to make a hole / lens. Results have been surprisingly good. I let the camera deal with the exposure, setting it to Auto / Program, which with ISO 400 b/w film, gives an exposure of about 2 seconds on a sunny day in the summer months. DoF is really good.

Under exposure prints, manual exposures, with a nicely made pinhole ’lens’.

There‘s no auto exposure available and I’m going to try some more exposures at 800iso tomorrow with some Vivitar 365 flash fill and long exposure with Lume Cube lights, both pinhole and extension tube plus lens setups, as time allows; Dr. apt Midday
