Hi Matt,


Sounds cool!

Found a couple of links:

[Try the 'Zero 2000 World View' under the 'Pinholers Gallery' ... if you
have a fast connection ... an odd mix of hi-tech and low ... a Flash
presentation of pinhole camera shots!]

You can cut a hole in the "body cap" of your 35mm SLR (or Hassleblad, or
whatever), gaffer tape a copper shim with pinhole over the body cap hole,
and voila a pinhole SLR that uses roll film. Be sure to test for light
leaks...

Commercially available options include nice plain wooden boxes which accept
4x5 film holders (Polaroid, or traditional). 8x10" version also available.
