larrydressler Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 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" Larry<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd frederick Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Sorry That is not a pinhole but it was made with a cheap plastic 35mm camera with a plastic lens. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
