Product Description

A serious kit containing everything needed to make a simple wooden pin-hole camera, and develop your own pictures. The principles are no different to early cameras, as described in the 24-page booklet written by an enthusiast, and also explaining the developing process and even advice on creating special effects. Developing chemicals, light-sensitive paper and the camera itself are all included in this educational, nostalgic and well-thought-out kit, suitable for adults and older children.

Excellent intro to photography5
I haven't been in a dark room for ten years since going digital but this brought it all back. I used it with my boys, aged 5.5 and 7.5. They enjoyed assembling the camera and dark room and then spent three hours running back and forth taking pictures and developing them. It was wonderful to see them discovering the joy of making an image and watching the magic of developing. The camera held together well without glue. We just made sure the joins were tight when we loaded it in the dark room. They had no problems following the safety precautions for handling the chemicals and had a terrific time. Our first few didn't come out as we over exposed them but that created a challenge to keep them going and try again. Now we just need some more paper...
