I need your help.
I bought this pinhole camera for a friend for christmas. I need to buy some film for it but don't know where to find the right stuff.

Its actaually pretty easy to get hold of the film for it, it uses 35 mm film that you can get from any photography store (or chemist).



Two tips, by colour film, drug stores are equiped to develop that type of film, dont by black and white unless your friend has access to a dark room.



next tip, I'd suggest buying film with a low ISO rating, about a 200 would be fine.



ISO ratings tell you how quickly film absorbs light, if you get a really high one, like 3200 its suitable for taking photos in extremely low light conditions, 100 and 200 are designed for sunny days because they absorb the light slowly.



If you use a 3200 on a sunny day your photos will just be white, so a slower speed would be best.

I remember making them in photography class in high school and it was loads of fun. I'm so pumped to get one of these for myself!

I'll try and do it soon and post some pics.



Does anyone have pin hole camera pic they can post?

Actaully thats a really difficult question because most cameras take photos at mil seconds, I've no idea how a pin hole camera would work.
