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 are stocking. All the cameras are made with exceptional attention to detail in selected high-quality teak wood. More than 15 layers of coating is applied by hand to each camera, to insure maximum protection of the wood. The metal parts are hand-turned, solid brass.
A coating is applied to all of the brass parts to prevent them from oxidizing. All are gloss varnished with brass fittings, and supplied with a certificate showing edition number.Brass shim of 0.001" is used for pinhole construction, making the pinhole conform to a more accurate film stop number and yield sharper images.

Every camera has its serial number etched on a beautiful brass plate, complete with a signed certificate of authenticity for its original design.

All cameras come in beautiful gift box, and are accompanied with an instruction manual, including detailed illustrations.

Some specially designed accessories are available to upgrade your Zero cameras.


The basic 120 roll film model is the Zero 2000, while the 6x9 Multiformat offers 4 formats from 6x4.5cm through to 6x9cm.Zero Image camera, the new handmade pinhole camera, with its antique design, is an objet d'art ideal for private collections, and makes a perfect gift to celebrate the new millennium. With its revolutionary design, our camera helps you take pictures with special effects, and connects you to the boundless creative and artistic world of photography.


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.




ZERO 45 PINHOLE CAMERA

The most eye catching design has to be the Zero 4x5 model. The new Zero 4 x 5 Multi-Format System is the world’s first camera that combines pinhole and zone plate technology in one unit.
It is the only pinhole camera incorporating the 4 x 5" format with a multi-focal length design available commercially.
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).

To save money, it is recommended to select one of the packages rather than buying camera and extension frames separately. There are several packages available designed to meet your needs, the Zero 25B, Zero 50B and Zero 75B.
Accessories or extension frames can be purchased based on the package you have selected.


Pictured here, left the 50B 4x5" camera, the kit supplied with one extension frame, and a double turret carrying pinholes for 25mm & 50mm.

To the right, the 75B, the kit supplied with 2 additional frames allowing 3 focal length selection, and a turret carrying 3 pinholes accurately machined to provide optimum resolution for all of these lengths.
