A very nice ultrawide pinhole camera from James Guerin at aupremierplan.
Here is his description the loading of this camera:
Curved film plane?
The film plane is curved to ensure even exposure across the negative, not possible with a flat film plane with such an extreme wide angle view (141° angle view of equates to a focal length of 6.4mm in 35mm terms). T
A side-effect of the curved film plane is that it results in a curved horizon in your photos unless the photo is taken with the camera level. This is why a precise bubble level features on the top plate of the camera.
