terraPin 6X9 120 film Pinhole Camera
Description
Derived From The [Terrapin 6X6 Pinhole Camera](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:495230), This Shoots A Wider Frame At 6X9. Assembly Is Essentially The Same, But The Extension Is Printed In Two Parts, Upside Down To Avoid Overhang Issues. The **Terrapin 6X9 Pinhole Camera** Is Unlike Any Other Pinhole Camera, 3D Printed Or Otherwise. Developed After Years Of Experience Designing And Constructing Pinhole Cameras, The Terrapin Is Intended To Be Very Easy To Assemble, Modify, And Hack. Derived From The [P6*6](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:157844), This Terrapin Also Uses 120 Film, With A 6 X 9 Cm Frame, Like Many Classic Medium Format Cameras. Dozens Of P6*6 / Terrapin Pinhole Photographers Around The World Provided Input And Feedback To Help Shape The Terrapin 6X9. The "Slider" Joint Between The Body And Extension Allows For Effortless Changes In Focal Length, Angle Of View, And Magnification. One Camera Body And Film Transport Mechanism Can Be Used With Multiple Extensions, Each With Their Own Pinhole And Shutter Blade. At This Time Only A 40Mm Extension Has Been Designed. Let Me Know Your Preferences And I Will Endeavor To Meet Them. Assembly Is A Snap. A Dovetail Joint Sandwiches The Pinhole And Shutter Without Fiddly Fasteners. A Single Bolt Holds The Joint Securely And Provides A Pre-Load On The Shutter Fulcrum, And Two More Bolts Clamp The Shutter Assembly To The Slider. Reduced Number Of Glued Joints In The Terrapin. Velvet Or Felt Is No Longer Required For Light-Tight Construction. **Note** There Is The Potential For A Light Leak At The Bottom Of The Extension-Body Joint, Which Manifests At The Top Of A Landscape Photograph (Remember The Image Is Inverted On The Film).

Because Of The Wider Format And Short Focal Length, There Is Significant Light Falloff Across The Frame. The Center Of The Frame Should Be Metered For F/154. A Radius 1/4 The Width Of The Frame Meters At F/174, Which Makes The Majority Of The Frame +/- 1/3 Stop. The Extreme Corners Are -1 2/3 Stops Compared To The Center Of The Frame.
