$207.4 $340 In stock

The Obscura by Ilford is the perfect entry level pinhole camera and a great way to experience the magic of one of the oldest and truest forms of photography.

The Obscura is precision cut and formed from expanded PVC. The camera is made of two interlocking sections – the photographic medium is loaded into the bottom section, and then held in place by sliding in the top section, which is locked into place with magnets.

Designed for 4×5″ film or darkroom paper, the Obscura’s 87mm focal length gives a wide-angle field of view. The exposures are controlled by a magnetic locking shutter on the front section of the camera which can be positioned in either orientation making it suitable for right or left-handed use. There is a tripod-mounting socket on the base.

The Obscura kit comes with, the Obscura camera, a simple exposure calculator for use without a light meter, a set of stickers, a user instruction booklet and a 3-tray light-tight sheet film box for storing exposed materials. Along with 10 sheets of 4×5” Ilford Delta 100 Professional film and 20 sheets of 4×5” Ilford Multigrade IV RC Deluxe paper.

Michael ★★★★★

The precision-cut pieces fit so snugly that even my clumsy fingers managed a clean build, and the resulting images have that soft, dreamy look I've been chasing. Perfect for slowing down and really thinking about every shot.

Scarlett Y. ★★★★★

Folded it together in about twenty minutes over a lazy Sunday, and the precision-cut cardboard slots into place so cleanly that it feels more like assembly than craft. The simplicity of loading the film and just pointing the lens at the world honestly rekindled my love for photography.

Daniel ★★★★★

I've been experimenting with pinhole photography for a while, and this kit makes it so easy to get started—the pre-cut slots snap together in minutes, no glue needed. The first photo I developed had that dreamy, soft-focus look I was hoping for, and it's incredibly rewarding to see an image created
