This is a nifty Zero Image Multi-format Pinhole Camera, S/N 2077, which produces 645, 6X6, 6X7, and 6X9 images via a 0.17mm, f235 pin hole.
I have worked with the camera for less than a year, and I am selling only because I have too much going on in my photography life, and don't have enough solid time to devote to this marvelous format.
My cameras are not shelf queens, and this one is no exception. The wood baffles that slide in and out to adjust format were sanded slightly to allow for easier adjusting. I applied self-stick colored dots to the top of the camera to help with sighting the various formats. I applied a self-stick clip to the face of the camera to hold any size and type filter I had in the field. The dots and the clip will remove--that's up to the buyer, but I found both very useful (and Zero Image should take note). The bottom plate has two rectangular marks on the finish from the cork bottom of my tripod quick release. The finish remains quite beautiful, however, even with light scratches.
Included is the original box, instructions, and rotating exposure calculator which is much easier to use than the tiny brass calculator on the camera itself. Also included are eight issues of the discontinued Pinhole Journal magazine by Nancy Spencer and Eric Renner, two driving forces of this medium. Pinhole is more varied and complex than you can ever imagine, and these magazines will provide years of inspiration.
Freestyle is selling this model for $239, and Zero is selling them direct for $188 (includes shipping), so I feel that $140 for camera, magazines, and USA postage is fair (PayPal preferred). The camera will ship Priority, and the magazines will ship media-mail.
