MERLIN pinhole cameras: created from paintcans, they can be used with photographic films and papers. They make normal images plus pictures that exhibit a variety of special perspective effects. Pinholes are precision drilled in the center of the label. The shutter is magnetic. Each camera comes with instructions and a child-safe opener.
Merlin cameras are hand crafted in the USA. This is a recycled, sustainable product that generates almost zero waste. We even reuse all incoming paper to make packaging material!
For those who like to calculate exposure times, the gallon sized MERLIN has an aperture equivalent of f/320; the quart sized Little MERLIN has an equivalent of f/200.
