I recently purchased the Ranica 7-3 and it is now my favorite pinhole camera among the several I own. I like it so much I just purchased his new multi-format camera. The shutter design has been improved and is slightly different from yours and is such a pleasure to use. I think the photos it makes have a unique look. I loved the long exposure photo of the tree at the end of your first sequence.
@@wcwendychapman Hiya! Thanks for watching! Indeed Ranica have got a good shutter system with their cameras...Would love the multiformat and nearly got one during the early promo price but couldn't afford it in time...ah well! one day! 😄
Based on your review, I ordered one. It came today. Took about 10 days, which is very reasonable. The use of wood is a great way to minimize problems with the printed section. The shutter is really nice. Put an elastic band round mine, over the shutter. Then I can drop it in my pocket, although I don't think it would open without it. I just like to be cautious. It is the cheapest 35mm I've come across at this quality point. Looking forward to seeing what it can do. Just loaded it with Acros 100 ii. Getting 5 second exposures in full sun.
@@jondr.8933 Awesome! Mine came in about 2 weeks. Hope you get some great shots with it. Always there in the pocket for whatever comes up. I just recently received the 35 panoramic as a companion. Has an even more effective shutter design. Hopefully these little guys will last for years. Great for trips with minimal bulk!
Great little camera! Nice design contrast between the printed material and the wood. For pinhole photography, I think 35mm is a bit (too) small and 120 is a better starting point when it comes to IQ.
Agree but surprised it wasn't too far off (pinhole is about that groovy softness anyway) I do think it'll be fine for small prints, online sharing snd tge like but not so much for anything large.
You are correct of course. It's just so convenient to drop.in your pocket with a mini tripod. It's the sort of thing you can just have with you, without planning to go out and do photography
