Oh, and you’ll need a pinhole from a pinhole supplier like perhaps Freestyle. I’d buy a pie (get a flavor you like), eat the pie, wash out the tinfoil pan, cut a two inch square from the bottom (leave space for 4 in case you mess the first one up) punch a hole almost all the way through the tin with a pushpin, finish the hole with a needle if you have one, and sand off the excess tin. BLack gaffer tape that onto your black wood and Voila!

Listen, just get out the Wisner, pull a Ziplok 1-quart bag out of your kitchen drawer, cut one of the layers of plastic off, and make a sort of Cokin frame to hold it flattish OR just get brutal and tape it on with gaffer tape. Shoot through that and you’ll probably have about the same as the Titan. As the ad for the Titan points out, if you’re gonna shoot 810, you probably already own a few film holders, and have an idea of what kind of film you’ll be shooting. IF you’re really feeling randy (get it?), find a wooden crate from the 1950’s or 60’s, have a carpenter make the fourth side out of 1/4 inch plywood and buy a couple of Graflok locks, you can make a camera by cannibalizing anybody’s old 8xo10 back and fitting it to your new wood side. Screw it onto the box. You can’t use glue as it doesn’t hold in the long run. Liquid Nails will be OK for a while, but then one day when you’re looking at a great scene and you’ve just slid the film holder in it will loosen and &$^*TIN&%^$%&HU%. Oh yeah, and you have to paint the whole interior flat black with a brush to really fill all the cracks. Spray paint doesn’t do it.

I guess what I should do is find the min focus distance for my phone and build a mount for it to take a pictures of my ground glass so I can use Instagram.
