For those already shooting film and wanting to get into analogue printing without the expense or need for a darkroom, the 10x8 pinhole camera is here to help! Simply load your negatives into the internal enlargement slide, and you can enlarge them onto 4x5 inch paper - making this camera a mini-enlarger as well! You can even create prints with fun and creative frames and overlays using Pinsta's ingenious internal slide system.

What Is a 10x8 Pinhole Camera?

 

A 10x8 Pinhole camera is a large format, lensless camera with a small aperture (pinhole) to project your inverted image onto your chosen film or paper.

 

Can I Use Different Processes in the Pinsta Camera?

 

You can. The Pinsta pinhole camera can be used however you want. If you have a different chemical process or medium you would like to use, then Pinsta should be compatible with most things. Extra syringes are available if you have additional processes such as chemical reversal etc. We are very excited to see how people use Pinsta in different creative ways!

 

How Good Is the Enlarging Quality?

 

The enlarging quality from 120 negatives is surprisingly good considering that it is a lensless system, and certainly good enough for putting 4x5 pictures around your home; the larger the negatives, the sharper the image due to there being more detail available to capture. The 35mm enlargements are a little softer and we recommend they are most useful for portraits and images that have less small details in them.
