woodenbox connected to macam. atm the praktica digital camera is to only one i have that i can connect to my laptop like this so the picture quality is a bit dire. i need to get a powershot to connect like this or buy a compact flash card if i want better quality. this works for now. 

you can see here that i have added a wooden spacer behind the lens mount. its pretty close  to the right distance.  things come into focus pretty much corresponding with the number printed on the lens.

shot of heinz bottle taken with woodenbox and macam. the usb output is quite low res so this is as big as it gets. this shot was taken from about four feet away so you can see the huge crop factor.

sloe gin from across the room.

now thats a screenshot
fistful of photos taken with frankencam ver.woodenbox. at the moment im involved in some pretty bothersome trial and error trying to alter the lens to reduce the crop factor. if you have any expertise in this area please send me an email or leave a comment. thanks
