Very clever. I would be interested in buying one. I looked on Ebay but couldn’t find it. Did you decide on a price or decide to sell them?

nice camera, but I don’t understand the design enough to assemble one myself. I need more pictures please!

Hi, I’m really keen to make one of these. I’v tried downloading Lego Digital Designer for windows to import the instruction files (http://www.foundphotography.com/PhotoThoughts/ archives/2005/11/legocamerainstructions.html) but it doesn’t seem to work. It only seems to like .lxf files and these ones are .ldrDoes anybody have any tips or instructions? thanks, kate

Hey Adrian, i just wanted to let you know i've built my own lego pinhole cam :) I saw yours and thought, "why not add lego mindstorms to it?", worked the whole night, and so i got my own, full automatic, lego pinhole camera: http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/5632528

It still neads some tweaks, but the lego technic motors and the aperture are working (almost correctly): http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/5631909

I have to make it more lightproof, and work out a better way for film transportation, but so far, cheers for the inspiration!

Sorry everyone for being so slow to respond to your comments. Thanks: Mike, Eric, and Sean

Maddy, Stereoscopic? I will have to think about that one. I like a challenge. Hmmm...

Bill, I don't have a parts list, but I did post the instructions here.

You need to download some free software to view them. I use a mac, but I think there is a link in the comments for a PC version of the software. I hope that helps, and send me some photos if you ever get your Lego camera built. By the way, I visited your site, and you have a bunch of great images. I thought the pinhole shells was especially nice.

I would love to try to put together your Lego pinhole camera. I do a bit of pinhole work. What would you say would be the Lego stuff to pick up first to get started? The last time I played with Legos was with my Grand kids. I really would like to try this. Most of my current pinhole images are done with the Zero 1 cameras. I do Art Fairs all over the country, and I think it would be really cool to be able to display the camera, and show a few images. Thanks for any advise and or help you could offer. Bill Thayer

Can you make a “stereoscopic LEGO camera”? Stereoscopic photography is very cool. I would love to see your handiwork at tackling one! Thanks!

Wow! You rock. I need more time in my life to build one of these!
