In this page you will find the most frequent asked questions from people interested in buying one of these cameras. A lot of answers have been given in the web itself, even that we think they can be of help as a quick guide for doubts and also for solutions. |

| What kind of film may I use?
Any, but just 35 mm (universal paso). As you all know, within this format you can find the biggest variety of films, from colour, to black and white, slides, infrared, ultra violet, etc. This is one of the best advantages of this pinhole camera that, apart from being able to play with sensitiveness and kind of films, we can get directly the pinhole negatives that can be used without any intermediary process.. |

The camera has a 168 diaphragm. This, for a sensitiveness of 125 ASA, will need a time of exposure of 1 second approximately. See times of exposure for more info.

With a roll of film of 36, you can get between 29 and 32 pictures.
If you have seen the gallery of pictures, you will have noticed that the majority of pictures appear surround by “small hairs”. Also in some images there appear holes in the film.
In the inside of the camera there is a frame that keeps the film perfectly slim. Inside this frame, there is a layer of felt, for the sensitive part of the film not been damaged and it is part of that felt what appears in the edges. The holes in the film appear sometimes and some others not. This is due to that the film inside the plate holder has a small looseness and, depending on how the film has been adjusted in the inside, so the images will appear.
One of the characteristics of the pinhole cameras is that its depth of field is unlimited, this means that it focuses from cero to the infinitum. The majority of pictures in the gallery of pictures are made “in the air”, without any support, that’s why they look a little bit out of focus or, better said, moved. Here it is up to the photographer creativity when choosing a determined photographic aesthetical.
The model is always the same, although with some slight modifications that improve the former model. Very soon we will have a model deluxe, manufactured in noble wood with ends in cooper and brass.
Regarding the different dying of colour, visit the page “Models of camera”.
In the inside of the camera there is a _ universal thread for mounting the camera in a tripod. If you don’t have one, click here to see how to “support” the camera in different places.
You will need some trials to get the perfect adjust, but as a reference I would recommend you to give one turn and a half (360º + 180º). More info in technical characteristics.
We only manufacture the model for the 35 mm film.
If what you want is a medium of big format camera, you will find a good web about these cameras in the links section.
NO. It has got so many things that can be broken that warranty is not necessary. This does not mean that they cannot be repaired in case they have any problem. If that is your case, the repair is free, you will just have to pay the costs of transportation.
