## Description

Make-It-Yourself Paper Pinhole and Solargraphy kit. Assemble in 1-2 hours ? no knife or scissors needed. Use 35mm film (not included) preferably ISO200. Technical Specs: Film type: Aperture 0.16mm. Focal length 20mm. F stop F/130. Pinhole cameras do not have optical lenses. Film is exposed by light through a tiny hole in front of camera. Because there is no lens, the image will be in focus at all distances. Best pinhole pictures are taken on a bright day. The camera must be very still when shooting. Exposure times range from 5 seconds to hours and sometimes days.

Review: Fun but challenging - This camera really does work. However, my high school students who were not gifted with their hands struggled with this camera. The directions are pretty clear, but for some reason, my students did not understand. They did not want to read all the directions or look at the diagrams. Those that did had a very successful camera. The pictures turned out well for those who followed my advice about how to take them. I highly recommend this product.

The spool for the film was flimsy and the dial on top is hard to stay on. Because there’s a large hole over the spool, there was a good chance light would leak in so we crafted a new spool with a boba drinking straw and duct tape. Downside: you can’t tell if the photo is in frame.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really works!
*by T***E on June 15, 2012*

I bought this camera kit for my son's science fair project. I was impressed with the quality of the kit. However, my 10 year old son could not do it by himself. I had to do most of it because of the intricate pieces. It's a great and fun project but definitely needs patience and precision to complete.
