  • Pinhole cameras are so much fun, pure photography, you can use them in the same way as other cameras, however, the pinhole camera pictures look unique and worth the time and effort using them. If you enjoyed this video, please consider making a contribution at

    I love the idea of a pinhole camera. The angel of uncertainty, as Sally Mann calls it, can be quite beautiful.

    Thanks for the video.
    I like the design of your 4x5 inch Zero Image pinhole camera.
    I built three 4x5 inch pinhole cameras with 50mm, 73mm, and 120mm pinhole to film plane distances.
    I also built a 25mm but no longer use it because I did not like the image quality in the corners.

    Thanks for your inspiring videos and beautiful photos!
    Some years ago I wanted to take up large format photography again, so I took my Sinar P 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10" out of the closet, discovered that was far to heavy, put together a 4x5 Sinar F which still came out too cumbersome...
    So I did build from scratch a 90 mm 4x5" pinhole camera which was quite an enjoyable process and I got quite hooked up on pinhole photography.
    After discovering your videos and the variable focal length camera I started a new building project, a modular 4x5" with 80 and 45 mm focal lengths, just finished. An ideal project for pandemic lock downs!

I can't say I've ever had a reason to travel to Yorkshire, but now your workshops are one. If I have the funds I might make my way after the pandemic. Cheers for the lovely video!

      @@martinhensonphotography Actually, I think I have a question about that. In the video you head out into the stream, take a light measurement, and calculate exposure time. How much would the light intensity vary between e.g. the stream and dry land? You also seem to point the photometer in the direction of the shot, is that also very sensitive? (I don't usually walk around with photometers, so I wouldn't know.)

    Don't know how you managed to stay upright Martin, I was panicking for you as I watched. If that was me I would end up flat on my face! I noted you took an incident reading rather than reflective even though you were not right up next to your subject, is that because you judged the light to be pretty much the same so knew it would be accurate?

    Good work, and a very enjoyable video. The quality of the pinholes of the Zero 45 is evident in the photographs. For that matter, one could turn a blind eye to the use ' postman's friend ' as means of securing the camera sections and the film holders. But really, at the asking prices they could have thought of better ways to secure the bits together.

    • @martinhensonphotography
      @martinhensonphotography  3 года назад

      Yea I see what your saying, however, very little to go wrong, holds everything securely and keeps the weight to a minimum, thanks

      @lensman5762 3 года назад

      @@martinhensonphotography Yes they are practical, but IMHO, not worthy of being used on such beautifully constructed pinhole camera. This reminds me of a miniature lathe that I have for machining very small pieces for my model engineering projects, the Taig lathe. Mine has automatic feed that works brilliantly but it relies on a piece of rubber band to transfer the torque from the drive pulley to the autofeed. It works like a dream when the rubber is in a fresh state but quite often the rubber snaps and the feed stops and ruins the machined part as it leaves a ridge. Now, those bands on the camera, are not remotely as stressed as the one on the Taig, but personally I would have prefered a couple of small sprung pivoting arms. Enjoyed the photographs though. Look forward to your next post.

    This was great thanks
    Have just converted my great grandfathers camera from the 1870’s to a 5x7 60mm pinhole camera with a 0.2 mm pinhole.. I have a query : when I hold the pinhole to the light and squint through it holding it a few inches from my eye I see black specks and sort of wee amoeba-ish artefacts
    I have tried forcing air and water through the hole but they remain. A scientist friend said these are caused by the relationship between the wavelength of light and the small size of the hole .Just wondering if you have ever noticed this phenomenon and if it can affect image quality

    • @martinhensonphotography
      @martinhensonphotography  2 года назад +1

      Yes the scientist is correct and all my pinholes don't look clear trying to look through them with the eye , don't try water or air just trust the science and enjoy using it, thanks

    I'm looking to get a 4x5 pinhole. The Harman Titan looks impressive but the different "focal lengths" are less elegant or more cumbersome than the Zero.

    • @martinhensonphotography
      @martinhensonphotography  3 года назад

      Having not used the Titan so cant comment, the Zero image Pinholes are about as good as they get , for a Pinhole camera, very detailed results, I have another two videos all ready for going public on RUclips and you will see how good they are at all focal lengths 25-50-75, thanks for commenting

      @polutropos 3 года назад

      @@martinhensonphotography I agree with you Martin on Zero Image quality. I have the 2000. Check out the Titan - it certainly rivals Zero quality. However I've long liked the look of the Zero 45 for the focal lengths and zone plates. Less keen on the rubber bands but I'd consider that a negligible matter. Looking forward to your new videos. You do great work and I enjoy it all.
