Turning a Praktica 66 into a pinhole


Recommended Posts

I have this old Praktica 66 with a bulky shutter it was stuck but now

works but the speeds are suspect. I was thinking it would be a nice

platform for a PinHole Camera until I can get the shutter fixed. I

don't have a body cap for it but I do have some nice thick foil and

some spacers. but then again I could just form the foil around the

mount with some black tape and use the 1000 speed color negative film

I have had in the freezer for 10 years. I bet that even with the old

dim ground glass screen I could see through the TTL finder in bright

light. I know the Cosmic fog story so spare me that .....

 

Any other ideas before i go at it and "GET ER DONE"

I don't have any suggestions for you on this one. That photo looks like it was made with a "real" camera...(^O^)

 

The most simple was to do it is exactly what you did: find something to poke a very tiny hole in, tape it to the lens opening, and just play with it.

 

That's a very nice pinhole photo!
