For basic version, we have a
simple shutter with low-pressure spring to prevent it from opening suddenly
when carrying. The operation is smooth enough to avoid any vibration when opening
or closing the shutter.
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 works well with a mini tripod. Its 1/4" thread tripod socket allows
you to adapt it to nearly all kinds of tripods available in the market.

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!
The solid brass edge protector provide more protection to the camera.
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 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 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.
