Reality So Subtle 6x6 Filter
The Reality So Subtle 6x6 Filter model is a medium format pinhole camera designed and built by James Guerin. It was introduced in 2017 as a companion model to his earlier 6x6 Dual Pinhole camera. Like the 6x6 Dual Pinhole, the 6x6F is manufactured from black, high impact polystyrene. It features an incredibly short focal length of 24mm, giving the camera an ultra-wide angle field of view. The 6x6F has a single, centered pinhole with a 52mm filter thread, allowing the use of various filters with your pinhole photography. Expand the possibility of your images by adding a neutral density filter for even longer exposures or try a polarizer for even more saturated colors with color film. Twist on an R72 infrared filter combined with infrared film, such as Rollei Infrared or Ilford SFX. Try a yellow, red, or orange filter for contrast control with panchromatic b&w film.
The camera has a very finely made pinhole that produces excellent image quality and has an effective aperture of f/160. The 6x6F also features dual winding knobs, so that film can be advanced or rewound freely. The shutter is a recessed, magnetically-governed knob that slides laterally, making initiating exposures easy and preventing the shutter from inadvertently coming open in one's camera bag. Loading is via a top-down method and is equally straight forward, though it does not allow for any access through the back of the camera. This is really only a minor inconvenience, making it a bit more difficult to access potential debris in the camera body or perhaps a hair caught in the negative mask.
This pinhole camera is sleek and sharp, with a streamlined design that will have you wondering why other photographers choose to shoot with the added complication of lenses.
