Oh nice. I think moominsean did something similar as well...

moominsean's pinhole relies on a removable light cap for self timed exposure. my mod incorporates the shutter system with auto exposure. takes the guess work out of exposures and can be switched back to a lens

Ah I see. I read about it a while ago.

Yeah I'm looking into a folding 100 type camera. Unfortunately my budget is a bit low for what ebay wants, so I try to troll craigslist as much as possible for em.
