Lensless 4 x 5" Pinhole Camera (Baltic Birch)
Key Features
  • 150mm/6" Lens
  • Macro
The Baltic Birch 4 x 5" Pinhole Camera from Lensless features a 6" lens. Lensless Cameras are constructed of different woods. Each model has a tiny hole (1/64" or smaller) precisely drilled in the front panel. The shutter is simply a small hinged metal plate that the photographer swings up and down to begin and end the exposure. The imitated focal length is determined by the length of the camera. The format is determined by the size of the back of the camera, which accepts the film holder. Since it is designed to accept a sheet film holder, there is no need to load the camera in the dark.

This is a Baltic Birch, 4 x 5" Pinhole Camera, with a focal length equivalent of 150mm, which is a wide-normal macro lens for this format. Average exposure in bright, noon-day sun is 4 seconds, using 400 ISO film.

Lensless 116B Reviews

These are so well made, yet basic - yield great photos.

I have several of these. I love them. You can shoot paper or film. The workmanship is nice, the design tried and true. Not much vignetting like other pinhole cameras. Excellent cameras for shooting out in SUBZERO weather. I have some very expensive cameras and then I have these - I don't think I could part with any of the three that I own. Images are nice and crisp. Only thing I dislike is they do not come with a maker logo like in the example of the camera. But that is not an issue for build/quality or use.

The best yet!

The level of quality and finish on this camera is impressive. The method of securing the film holder in place is simple yet superior to other pin hole cameras available of the market regardless of price. It securely holds the fim holder or 4x5 Instant film back in place. Best of all it is made in the USA!
