Calculating aperture width

[Steve Smith]

Hope it works out well this time.

For those of us who like messing around converting and building things, can you post some pictures of the camera?

Hi Steve, here's a photo of the finished camera - it just needs a viewfinder which I'm waiting for. I'm off out now with my test film inside, having just recalculated the f stop markings.

I'll try to upload that photo again...

Ok, it doesn't work for me, so here's the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/sherkin...7623047873869/

Looks good.

I was going to do a Nimslo conversion a while ago but instead I did a 6x12 format camera with a 65mm Super Angulon. Link in my signature line.

I was going to use the 6x12 format Holga pinhole camera as a basis for this but after a while I decided I could build all of it.

What are you going to use for a viewfinder? I ended up making mine as I couldn't afford to buy one.

Neat conversion!

Thanks David. Steve, I've sent off for a Gaoersi viewfinder, the 90mm fixed viewfinder for 6x17 should cover the same area as I need for the Nimslo.

I've developed the second test film and all the exposures are looking good, so thanks to everyone for their help. Heres a rough scan of one of the frames...
