A Fine Pinhole Camera Kit
The Ilford Obscura Pinhole Camera "Kit" made for a wonderful gift to a family photographer. It provides a high quality pinhole camera along with film and photo paper. The camera design incorporates cleverly placed magnets for the pin hole cover (shutter) and to secure the pieces of the camera body.

With its innovative design and high-quality construction, the Obscura 4x5" Film Pinhole Camera, manufactured in England exclusively for ILFORD PHOTO, offers a unique and creative photography experience. This lightweight, yet durable camera is precision-cut and formed from expanded PVC, featuring two interlocking sections for a seamless and stylish design.
The Obscura's design is not just about aesthetics; it's also incredibly functional. The photographic medium is loaded into the bottom section under darkroom conditions, securely held in place by the top section that slides in and locks into place using magnets. This top section also houses the stainless steel chemically etched 0.3mm pinhole, the heart of this camera's unique imaging capabilities.
Designed to accommodate 4x5 inch film or paper, the Obscura boasts an 87mm focal length, delivering wide-angle images with a distinct, soft focus that only a pinhole camera can provide. The pinhole exposures are controlled by a magnetic locking shutter, which can be left in the open or closed position for flexibility in capturing your desired shots.
The Obscura's design is also user-friendly, with the front section able to be positioned in either orientation, making it suitable for both right and left-handed use. A tripod-mounting socket is incorporated into the design for stability during shoots, and an enclosed sticker allows for the creation of a sighting line to aim the camera accurately.
Drawing comparisons to the HARMAN TiTAN 4x5 pinhole camera, the new Obscura brings together the best of traditional photography with a modern, innovative design. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a beginner looking to explore the world of pinhole photography, the Obscura 4x5" Film Pinhole Camera is a reliable and stylish choice.
