Pinhole Camera Made of Dreams and Passion...
After more than three years of research and development, combining the science of cutting edge design technology, and the classic art of woodworking, our top-of-the-line pinhole camera is now available.
The Zero 612F Multi-Format pinhole camera is made to-order, and will be limited to a production run of 1000 pieces, with each camera bearing a unique serial number etched
on a brass plate attached to the camera.
The Zero 612F Multi-Format camera is an abnormal/wide angle camera with a focal length of 40mm, and accepts 120 roll film. The pressurized camera back is spring-loaded, which helps to keep the film flat, and prevents it from curling. Your images will be crisp and clear, because the film negative will be rigid and even.
This 10-in-one camera not only allows you to switch between pinhole and zone plate version, but also allows you to set the film format to 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9 and 6x12. Simply select your preference before the film is loaded.
This camera takes 16 frames when set to 6 x 4.5, 12 frames when set to 6x6, 8 frames
when set to 6x7 and 6x9, 5 frames when set to 6x12.
Carry one camera instead of 10!! All you need to begin taking great pictures is a take-up spool and a fresh roll of 120 format film.
Compact size makes pinhole photography handier: 8 1/8"(L) x 2 3/4"(D) x 3 1/4"(H) and weighs only 490gm.
With its cutting-edge CNC technology, the exclusive design of this camera allows you to switch your camera to either pinhole or zone plate version as easy as breeze.
We use 0.001" brass shim to make the pinhole conform to a more actual film stop number; and to render a sharper image. A Zone Plate version of the Zero 2000 is also available.
All pinhole or zone plate are hold in position by this important and unique designed holder/housing.
This holder can not only help to hold the pinhole preciously in the center of the camera but also solve the big problem of dark circle appear in short focal legnth camera.
After the pinhole holder is preciously machined, a coating of matt black baked enamel to ensure finest protection and prevent internal reflection.
This camera comes with three tripod sockets, which allows you to set your camera horizontally or vertically. Its 1/4" thread tripod socket allows you to adapt it to nearly all kinds of tripods available in the market.
With the pre-installed bull's-eye bubble level spirit, you can have more control over angles and perspective when framing your pictures. It is made of solid
brass.
Both the top and size of the camera have beautiful framing marks which is made of brass nail.
With its convenient markings, you will have more control in framing your image. You will know precisely what is included in your frame shot, with no more guesswork!
Pre-installed cable release adaptor enables you to trigger the shutter manually or with a cable release. It helps to prevent vibration for short-exposure photography. A must for speed pinhole photography!!!
Specially-designed
film format indicator reminds you of the current film format setting.
Center
lock to secure the top cover of the camera in place. Practical design allows
you to load and unload your film wherever you want. No dark room or changing
bag is needed.
Solid brass format indicator showing which format you are setting.
Film advance knob with beautiful knurled diamond pattern. You will find how useful is this pattern when you have sweaty fingers in the summer or wearing gloves in the winter.
Single direction mechanism
of the film winding button prevents the film from curling back.
Steel spring which hold the film in place and prevent it from loose, it is very important and is a must in any medium format, cheap copies from other manufactuer don't have this important part!
A special material is added to the edge where the film will pass, this is a must to avoid scratches on film. You can't find all these design details in other cheap copies of our cameras.
Our
Exposure Scale helps you to calculate the exposure times more quickly with no
need for a separate table. The polished brass displays a finely-etched rendering
of the scale.
The film counter window allows you to know how many exposures are left.
The film counter window comes with a cover which works best for infrared photography, and also reduces the possibility of light leaks.
The solid brass edge protector provide more protection to the camera.
The structure and joints of the camera are specially designed,
with reinforced bonding which allows the camera to shrink and to swell without
affecting the performance of the camera when the weather changes and also prevent light leak.
The mechanism and the structure of the camera make it
work like an ordinary camera, but it is capable of taking extraordinary pictures!
All camera comes with a
viewfinder so you can frame your image easily. Far better than any markings/lines on the camera and is only available at our company.
For
the materials, we choose only high quality teak wood which is very stable. The wooden
parts are first kiln-dried and then machine milled into correct size. Matte
black paint is applied to the interior of the camera to prevent light leaks.
More than 15 layers of coating is applied by hand to the camera, to insure maximum
protection of the wood.
Now very few pinhole manufacturer willing/able to adopt this kind of coating because of the far higher requirement in skill and the very long production time.
We
use hand-turned solid brass for all of the metal parts. A baked color coating
is then applied to prevent them from oxidizing.
The structure and joints of the camera are specially designed,
with reinforced bonding which allows the camera to shrink and to swell without
affecting the performance of the camera when the weather changes. We use specially made clamp and white glue instead of cheap hot melt glue which is only for fast and cheap production.
All the mechanical parts and pinholes are installed by our designer, Mr. Zernike Au, who also designed all our cameras and accessories. Every camera is checked and tested by him to ensure the highest quality.
It's Collectible: A certificate signed by our designer will accompany each camera.
Every camera comes its serial number etched on a beautiful brass plate.
