A 120 degree, medium format pinhole camera.
The Pinoramic 120 Series 2 is a camera I produced for sale in 2005 and 2006. It was a personal challenge to build a camera made entirely of laminated veneers - effectively a plywood camera. Both flat and curved surfaces are made from 5 layers of cross-banded veneer assembled with either vacuum bag, strap press or inflatable bladder press. All hardware (except for common screws) was made in house. A pneumatic shutter is actuated by a handheld rubber bulb.
The Tilt-Load mechanism makes it easy to film in and out of this very compact design.
