Kodak cameras.. just a tad before Kodak's George Eastman started on his spending spree. I'm talking about some of the nicest looking cameras ever made the Rochester Optical Company Pony Premo series, I have a few in my collection and one of them still gets used.. I may be using it this weekend at the local film users groups Sunday photo walk.

Hello one 'n all
It's been some time since I posted anything here, I did have internet problems that stopped me posting , but that was ages ago and I should have started posting sooner . I'm still collecting old cameras and enjoying using them..Colin

Thanks Dave & Mickey.
I'm now working on one that is lens based using a 50mm enlarger lens.Finding out it isn't that easy. Could make a grand paper weight.

Stephen Great work.
You should give digital negatives a go. I have been using folex film and a ink jet printer the results are just about spot on!

I think that his work takes him away from home, even offshore, so he may be somewhere with no internet access. I hope so. I miss his postings, his macro photos, advice and wry humour. Mickey Yes let's hope he is back soon.

Hans " where in Europe it is to be found"
I think you would do better in Europe finding it that I do in Australia.
Berndt I go the easy way.. use one of the on-line calculators.

Mickey I will be out and about picture taking as soon as we get some cool weather..
Berndt focus isn't a problem with IR in large format pinhole cameras. The only problem I have for the cameras focal length I should have used a 400micron .I didn't have one so used a 300 microm .

I don't think I posted a picture of my hi-tech camera. About the camera. Home made from re-cycled foam board and black gaffer tape . Construction time under one hour. Film size 5x4 inch. f217 300micron pinhole. Focal length 65mm. Cost about $A5 not including the dark slide.
