I use two 120 roll-film pinhole cameras: the Holga 120WPC and the Zero Image 6x9. The Holga comes with a 6x9cm mask and a 6x12cm mask. I only use the 6x9cm mask. The Zero Image 6x9 comes with two dividers that allow me to shoot 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, or 6x9cm images. However, since I have no desire to shoot any of the smaller aspect ratios, I only use it to shoot 6x9cm images.
I just bought zero image m 2000 pinhole. Can’t wait to develop those shots and print in my darkroom. I shoot a lot of film, from 35mm to 4x5 but this will be a treat.
Good luck with it. The back dial is handy for calculating exposure, but it takes a couple of rolls to get a good feel for the camera. You'll love the results. Let me know in the comments how it works out.
Thank you so much. I love your "Take off lens cap / Wind film" reminder. Why did this never occur to me for my vintage cameras? I also really appreciate the comparison ... I keep wanting these fancy (and expensive) cameras, but I think I'll keep going with my cardboard boxes and cigar boxes. It's just a dark box with a hole in it, after all ... And the difference in sharpness is just going to be a matter of the pinhole itself.
Nice video on both. I have the Holga 120 WPC which I think is the Panoramic replacement for the one no longer made and Zero Image is currently making a 120 612F for me. Nice comparison. Looking forward to your other videos.

It sounds like you know your way around Holgas!

@@jeffstefan3027 great and thank you. I like the idea of random things happening.
Collodion is next

Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your cardboard and cigar boxes. I bet your shots are spectacular.

Thanks! Hang on to your Holga- there are becoming more rare by the day,

Now that is a journey 🙂
Would you say that the cable release is a must have on the Zero Image 2000?
Yes, a cable release is a must. Pinhole cameras take long exposures and it's almost impossible not to jiggle the camera when exposing by hand.
@@jeffstefan3027 Thank you! I was looking at the different models and your video made it look like the way to go!
the light flash on your picture is from the torch you use to see the number on the film.
Interesting possibility ... I wondered about shining a light in there! I keep the little window covered with electrical tape except when I'm winding.
Reciprocity failure? No mention, but with fp4 you have to deal with it.
