Digital BW, The Print

I tried the same thing with a hand-made cardbox box stuck on the front of a
Mamiya RZ67 roll film holder the other day. But my results were not
impressive. Is a 1mm hole too big? Or have I screwed up by not making room
for a tripod mount?

Fuunily enough, Steadman, it was one of your posts a few weeks back that
inspired this creation!

Anyway, guidance appreciated... I just need to figure out a way of
triggering a little button on the back, behind my box, to reengage the
winder, and I'm sorted.

I just felt this was somwehat amateur on my part though... and Mark...
anyone... please tell me someone has been rediculous enough to stick a
pinhole box on a scanning back to make me laugh. I mean that in a nice way
by the way! Mark's little cameras have struck some chords over here too!

Best,

Nij
