Chroma Camera, maker of the Chroma Carbon and Snapshot 4x5 cameras, has added a fourth camera to the stable: the 135 Cube pinhole camera. This camera offers a lightweight (156g) compact camera that can be picked up and carried easily at all times. It features an 0.2 mm pinhole, about f/150, on a 24x24 frame.
This is about 3.2 stops more than f/16, so sunny 16 would indicate a shutter speed of 9.4x slower than the desired film speed, e.g. about 1/40th of second for ISO 400 in broad daylight. The shutter is a magnetic shutter plate that slides, perhaps the thing sticking out on the right in the product photo. There is a nub visible in the product photo the left side of the camera.
The camera does come with a tripod socket and a level built-in. The winding mechanism is a sprocket counter mechanism, that allows lining up the frames by a marker.
