The Mona Lisa Pinhole-Zoneplate Field Camera, designed and built by the Renners at pinholeresource.com, shown here as it appears both opened and closed. This came out in 2003, and disappeared from their offerings in 2004 - I can find no one else who has this camera, makes me feel very lonely. :)
You can extend it to 4 different focal lengths (150mm, 120mm, 75mm and 40mm), and there is a corresponding pinhole and a zone plate for each, accessed along a sliding piece of wood on the front (no zoneplate for the 40mm setting). Takes 4x5 film holders on the back. While I have picked up some 4x5 film holders, I'm no where near ready to process sheet film or photo paper cut to fit, so I also have a Graflok back which I hope someday to attach to the camera so I can use a number of different film adapters with it (including Polaroid packfilm and 120 film). Only problem is to do that I have to work up the nerve to hack off the wooden bits glued to the back in order to lay the Graflok flush against the back of the camera - I haven't gotten up the courage yet to cut into the thing, I'm worried I'll screw it up.
(black thing in the front is just a piece of plastic grid I used to prop it up; other black thing on the second view is a bookend, also used to help prop the camera up) |
