This is from a test roll through an Olympus mju, or Stylus (not the mjuii or Stylus Epic that I use all the time).

I found the camera in a thrift store a couple of weeks ago for less than $10, which is a pretty good price, when working.

I like this camera nearly as much as the mjuii, the lense seems every bit as sharp, though slower.

It has fewer useful features but that means it is much simpler to use.

This was a test to make sure it worked, and now it is taking a two week holiday in Vietnam.

I am looking forward to seeing the results of its trip.

This roof line has a V and W in it.

Of course, it has other things too, like an M.

But I like VW better – this version anyway, as it seems an honest VW, no fibs or tricks or false pretences.

Though I do wonder about the wisdom of all those slopes down towards the middle of the building, this being a rainy place.

I foresee leaks, regardless of roofing technology. Maybe there are some false pretences after all.

Worldwide Pinhole Day has come around again and I am posting some more instant film pinholes, as I did last year. These are totally out of sequence for 2016 as I have about 7 rolls of unscanned film in the queue. Since they were shot today, and today is the day, then posting today it is. Does that make sense?

These are made with a pinhole camera that I made by adapting a microscope attachment that has a Polaroid Land 100 back with an f327 pinhole. The camera uses the Fujifilm FP-100C film, which sadly was recently discontinued. If you are interested in the camera, check out my post Making a Polaroid Pinhole Camera.

Getting good exposures is still a challenge for me with the darker scenes. I find with this camera that in brighter scenes if I meter for the highlights then I don’t…
