Check out these cameras - if only I could machine!

Hi all,

Just picked this story up on PSFK:

Handmade Pinhole Camera Updates Age-Old Design - PSFK

Check out those cameras

Nice. Thanks David.

Great link David. A clever guy ok, nice looking machined pin hole cameras, dedicated to it, brilliant!

When I looked at my PN2011 which I am using as a basis for the same sort of thing I was like....why is this cheap and plastic lol

I might look at creating a DIY camera like Pete has done, there are plans elsewhere to create one and I might be able to use the lens from the PN2011 for it as I will be converting to pinhole.

I just love the watch movements added into the cameras, really nice engineering - not bad for a metal box with a hole in it.

I love those!! more from the engineering side than for the produced photos though

Probably simplier than some 1980s SLRs though!

Here is a Nikon F:

I wonder what an exploded diagram of a Nikon d800 would look like
