Description

Zero Image 135 Deluxe Basic Back to Nature Pinhole Camera

Zero Image 135 Deluxe Back to Nature Pinhole Camera with Cable Release is the world’s first and smallest multi-format wooden pinhole camera using 35mm film. This means less chance of camera shake when you expose your film.

Zero Image 135 Back to Nature Pinhole Camera has a 0.001″ brass shim. This precision pinhole will match up accurately with film stop numbers. In turn, this will create sharper images. The Deluxe has the advantage of a cable release.

The Back to Nature series of cameras is made of solid brass and high-quality teak wood. And they have an eco-friendly hard wax-oil finish.

Every Zero Image pinhole camera has a serial number etched on a beautiful brass plate. This can be found inside the camera. As well as a signed certificate of authenticity in each box. In addition, you will find step-by-step instructions, complete with illustrations, on how to use the camera.

The Zero 135 cameras will need a spare 35mm film cassette to load your film with this model. Metal is best as the plastic ones are slightly too big.
