Pinhole photography, with its timeless charm and minimalist approach, has seen a resurgence among both seasoned and emerging photographers. At the forefront of this revival is the Jagglé Pinhole Lensboard, a meticulously crafted accessory that elevates the pinhole experience.
What Makes the Jagglé Pinhole Lensboard Stand Out?
1. Innovative Magnetic Shutter Mechanism
Traditional pinhole cameras often rely on sliding or manual shutters, which can be cumbersome and prone to accidental exposures. Jagglé revolutionizes this with a magnetic shutter system that ensures a smooth, effortless operation. The magnets securely lock the shutter in both open and closed positions, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of unintended exposures.
2. Precision Engineering for Consistent Results
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Jagglé Pinhole Lensboard guarantees uniform pinhole coverage. This precision ensures consistently sharp and artifact-free images thanks to it’s laser drilled pinhole, allowing photographers to focus on their creative vision without worrying about mechanical inconsistencies.
3. Universal Compatibility
Designed to fit cameras with Linhof-style 96x99mm lensboards, the Jagglé lensboard is compatible with a wide range of large-format cameras, including models from Intrepid, Chamonix, Wista, Tachihara, Gibellini, Ondu, and Stenopaika .
4. Durable and Lightweight Construction
The lensboard is constructed from lightweight yet robust materials, combining an aluminum base with a 3D-printed shutter mechanism. This design strikes an optimal balance between durability and affordability, making it suitable for extensive outdoor use
