A chilled out 35mm pinhole camera kit that puts the basics of photography in everyone’s hands

The Hole-On Ex is a make-and-shoot 35mm pinhole camera kit. This well-designed kit comes complete with all the camera parts printed on heavy, durable card and die-cut and scored for easy assembly. A metal pinhole aperture is included. Assembly requires only glue, ruler and pencil. Recommended for ages 12+, younger with adult help. Step-by-step instructions mean the camera can be ready for shooting in less than two hours. It uses standard 35mm film (not included). When assembled, the Hole-On Ex is about the size of a disposable camera (7cm H x 10cm W x 7cm D). Each kit is stylishly packaged in a LP album-size (30.5cm SQ x 1.3cm D) corrugated cardboard sleeve.

Pinhole cameras have no optical lens – a pinhole lets light in when the shutter is opened to expose the film. The user is required to experiment with exposure times relative to the available light (Hole-On Ex provides instructions). Given a pinhole camera’s infinite depth of field, the resulting photos are instantly artful with a softer appearance than normal photographs. And that’s half the fun! The Hole-On Ex camera is a great way to inspire learning about the fundamentals of light, optics and photography.
