Harman Titan pinhole cameras

Designed by (Mike) Walker Cameras in conjunction with Harman Technology Ltd (Ilford).
I've not devoted a web page to these as there is lots of detail on various websites, see: here and here
The Titan 4" x 5" pinhole camera kits available in the UK from late October 2011, and Rest of World from December 2011.
The Titan 8" x 10" pinhole camera debued at Photokina, 13th Sept. 2012

Single Use camera, September 2005

More Ilford branded disposable cameras, January 2013

Amateur Photographer magazine reported in their 5th January 2013 issue that, due to unexpected demand for black & white film cameras, Ilford had launched two new models. One comes pre-loaded with Ilford XP2 Super which uses the (Kodak colour negative) C-41 process (suited to being trade processed), while the other (the green one above) is loaded with HP5 Plus, which requires normal black & white processing chemistry (more suited to the home darkroom). Each includes a flash, gives 27 exposures and cost £8.99p. A process paid version of the HP5 Plus version costs £14.99p.

Ilford Obscura Pinhole Camera, Spring 2013

A high quality 4"x5" format pinhole camera, made in the UK.
The 0.35mm diameter precision pinhole is located 87mm from the rear, where photographic film or paper can be inserted. This arrangement gives the equivalent of a wide angle lens of infinite depth of field.
The shutter is held open by small magnets, to faciltate the inevitable time exposure from an effective aperture of f249.
