Marissacam II: for 7"x11" paper negative (1/2 sheet 11x14).
100mm focal length/ radius film plane. 160ş angle of coverage.
Marissacam III: for 5"x8" paper negative. 75mm focal length/ radius film plane. 155ş angle of coverage.
Both are comprised of a split octagonal foam core shell with single ply illus. board liner.
Abt. the original Marissacam (not shown):
Spring of '05. I was recruited by 9 year old friend, Marissa to help with her science project due the next week. "We" decided to go with a pinhole photo project (surprising). A panoramic camera of black foam core and illustration board construction for paper negative. A 98mm focal length/radius imaging onto 4 1/4x11" paper (8 1/2x11 RC split) for 164ş of coverage.
The camera was completed and sample imagery was provided in time for Marissa's deadline.
Marissa's teacher considered our project "not scientific", something about, "too predictable". She was more interested in projects like, how plant growth is affected by color filtered lighting or making a battery from a stupid potato...((bitc..)).Anyway, Marissa did receive an "A" in presentation for her knowledge of focal length, degrees of coverage, developers, orthochromatic vs. panchromatic photosensitive materials and other non-scientific stuff.

Pinhole camera camera shot of another pinhole camera. My son made one pinhole camera from an oatmeal cylinder and another from a shoebox. I made one from my Rebel XT, an empty toilet paper roll, some Renold's wrap, a piece of an aluminum can (with a sewing needle hole) and Scotch tape. He was experimenting with pinholes for a science project. Exposure was less than a second.
