How is a pinhole camera different than a regular camera?

How do you load 4x5 film into paintcan pinhole camera?

  • I just made my little paint can pinhole and went to load my first 4x5 sheet of film and it doesn't quite fit. Is it supposed to be slanted inside in order to squeeze in? Any suggestions on a way to store film once exposed until I get it to my JOBO??

  • Answer:

    Well how small is your paint can? I have a 4x5 pinhole camera made from a toilet paper core. If I can get 4x5 film into it, I am sure there is a way you can get 4x5 film in your paint can as long as it is 4 inches high and the circumference is at least 5 inches. One I expose my film, I put it in an old 4x5 sheet film box. If I am in the field shooting with it, I carry a changing bag with me. In it is one box of fresh 4x5 film and one box for exposed film. I have added a dymo label to the box for the exposed film so I can find it in the bag easily.
