Goodman Scura 35
The Goodman Scura 35 is a 3D-printed pinhole camera kit produced by Dora Goodman in Budapest, Hungary. When new, it comes as a ready-to-assemble project that is at least half the charm of owning one of these camera. In operation, the Scura 35 uses standard 135 film to produce a 25x60mm panoramic frame. Additionally, it exposes across a curved plane which helps to eliminate light fall-off at the edges of the negative and rendering a more even exposure left to right. The presence of the curved plane also causes a "bowing effect" of horizontal lines depending on if or how the camera is tilted and can give images made with the Scura 35 a unique look.
The effective aperture is roughly f128, so it will require longer exposures even during daytime conditions. Image quality is average for a pinhole camera. This is not the sharpest pinhole camera out there, and is definitely softer than some comparable 35mm pinhole cameras like those of Zero Image, Reality So Subtle or ONDU. At the same time it will produce a sharper pinhole image than your typical matchbox, Altoid's can, or other standard homemade pinhole. Plus, it's pinhole, right? Why are we bothering to care about sharpness?
The Scura 35 can also be purchased with a few different inlays: graphite, faux leather or a lovely wood. This level of customization, along with the DIY aspect, really help distinguish this camera from most other pinhole cameras on the market.
