I recently received a pack of 600 Polaroid Film, but do not have the camera that uses this Film.

Despite not having the correct camera, I still wanted to try to use this film. I decided I would make a pinhole camera to try to expose this film. I have a wooden box, my “apple-y box”, that I thought would work out great since there is an opening on both ends.

The film holder. I used a piece of frosted mylar as a focusing screen.

Upside down and backwards projection of a flame from a lighter on the focusing screen.

I taped the bottom from an old, broken bracket so I could screw in a tripod plate.

I had my jewelry making neighbor drill a hole in some aluminum. A little sanding to shave off the burrs.

The finished camera on tripod.
