Ilford's high-quality Obscura Pinhole camera is a lower-cost alternative to its Titan range of cameras. We think it's one of the best pinhole camera kits you can buy.

It is made from blown polyurethane with a chemically etched stainless steel pinhole lens. Uniquely, it employs magnets to keep the shutter cover in position (either open or closed). The two outer parts of the camera slide into each other and are also held in place by magnets.

When paper or film is positioned in the chamber, the other part of the camera slides on top of it and holds it in place; resulting in a single exposure with a border. Thus, the Obscura does not employ a dark slide. There is also a bush on the bottom for a tripod.

The Obscura kit contains:

* 10 sheets of film (Delta 100, 5x4)

* 20 sheets of paper (Ilford Multigrade Glossy 5x4)

* Exposure Calculator

* 3-tray light-tight box for your exposed film and paper.

* Tripod Adaptor

* Full Instruction Book

* Logo stickers

As an introduction to analogue photography, it is unbeatable. With this pack, a Paterson MRT3 c/w Mod 54 and changing bag you have a darkroom in a bag. Remember, Mod 54 will also process paper too in a tank.

Carter ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how sharp the images turned out for a pinhole camera made from blown polyurethane. The build feels sturdy, and loading the film was straightforward.

Evelyn F. ★★★★★

Assembly took about 15 minutes, and the blown polyurethane body feels sturdy enough for tossing in a bag. The first image I developed had that dreamy, soft-focus look I was hoping for.

Emma Q. ★★★★★

The lightweight polyurethane body feels incredibly sturdy once assembled, and I love how simple the design is for learning the basics of pinhole photography. Even my first few test shots came out with a dreamy, vintage quality that surprised me.
