Now with tripod mount, weighing 97g

Tripod mount drawn up and on the printer now. Standard 1/4" thread using a simple steel nut embedded from the back.

I had an idea a few days ago to design a modern version of the humble matchbox pinhole camera. I always try to keep my designs simple, but wanted to strip back entirely to see how compact I can build a 24x36 pinhole camera. I started by designing a simple film path to keep the film flat without...

They're not massively exciting but I've just uploaded 4 short videos showing how to disassemble my Six17, along with others showing how to mount the ground glass, how to load film and how to focus using the helicoids that I use on all of my cameras. They're all on my Youtube Channel...

My new "FX-Six" multi format 120 system. After launching the 6x17 format “FX617” in 2025, with its’ simplified fixed body design, I’ve been working on a smaller version that offers three different frame sizes; 6x12, 6x9 and 6x6 in one compact system and am happy to announce that my new...

Thanks a lot for your thoughts and post, I really appreciate it and am glad you like your Click. It's been a passion project of mine to design and manufacture a complete camera from end to end so it's really great to see that the considerable amount of time I've put in to finalising the design...

Apologies for the compression quality. I've had to resize to below 500Kb to upload! Link to original PDF here - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qazh5r0njmjuub60nfij9/TPS2026Floorplan6thMarch.pdf?rlkey=ggasvjdckj71r9pnz6fb3dkbs&st=vbf539mn&dl=0

The only issue with using a digital camera to photograph the negative is sensor size. You will either need to have your camera further back from the negative (depending on the lens you're using) and crop as a single frame or take multiple images and combine them in Photoshop etc. Combining...

I've just heard back from the Organisers, the floorpan will be included with the free show guide that is available on the day. They did send me a copy but I'm just waiting to hear back to make sure they're ok with me sharing it. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be but will share it here as soon as...

I've just asked one of the organisers if there is a floorplan available. They've always been published before so it would be odd to omit it this year.

As per the post above, I released the Click as a very small volume (50 cameras) “passion project” in December. I’ve always wanted to design and build a complete camera from the ground up, which is where the Click came from. The Double Glass lens optics were originally designed and manufactured...

Thanks a lot for your order, I really appreciate it. I’m currently assembling 8 Clicks, including yours, so it should go out early next week. Cheers Steve
