Zero Image is a Hong Kong based company, producing a range of beautifully designed and finished pinhole cameras in a variety of formats, all of which we have in stock. The most eye catching design has to be the Zero 4x5 model (left).
In the standard configuration this will deliver an ultra-wide image, and even though the body depth is only 2 cm, the 5x4” film is covered right to the corners, indicating excellent pinhole construction.
A principal feature of the 5x4” design is the extension frames which can be used to increase the effective ‘focal length’ of the camera, and these simply nest into place and are secured with rubber bands, as is the dark slide (not included).
All the cameras are made with exceptional attention to detail in hard woods, the 5x4” model being teak. All are gloss varnished with brass fittings, and supplied with a certificate showing edition number. The basic 120 roll film model is the Zero 2000, while the 6x9 Multiformat offers 4 formats from 6x4.5cm through to 6x9cm.
The 35mm camera is also dual format, either standard 23x35mm, or panoramic 23x45mm.
All cameras are supplied with an ingenious exposure dial, which can be used to calculate exposure times using a reading from an exposure meter or camera readout. Cameras are supplied with both pinhole and zone plate. All cameras are fitted with brass tripod bushes, on both elevations in the 4x5” camera. Full technical details on our website, and examples of images from all cameras.
PRICES - pinhole cameras should be affordable, and we are offering a very low price on our initial shipments, although this is likely to rise in the new year. All prices include VAT at 17.5%
