Just finished a polaroid land camera butchering session.
Take one old land camera. It was bought to use up some fp100c but was found to be a tad too unreliable in the shutter department. It only cost a tenner (how has the one linked to ^^^^^... got to £70???) so it was ripped apart to perform as a pinhole camera.
Take an old lens + shutter which I'm guessing came from a foldable camera. Then make a hole in the land camera and shove together. Fingers crossed that it focusses.
Then to check it works. A bit of baking parchment and some masking tape and it all looks very promising. Here a bad picture of the process. A mixture of low light plus vague image on the parchment plus no desire to take a better shot.
I've not put a new pack of film in it yet but will post results when I do.
