Another DIY film camera kit I found on eBay was Pinhole Art 135. I believe Lomography sold theses long time ago; however, I have not seen this for sale, and I have not found one even on eBay since I got mine.
This kit came with all wood and metal pieces necessary to build a pretty cool looking pinhole camera. There were two issues though. First, maybe the kit was an old one, and some of the pieces were curved and made it little more challenging to put them together. Second, the instructions were not that great.... I mistakenly glued the front piece upside down...
For the "lens", I got a laser drilled pinhole on eBay. To amount on a tripod, I used Reticam Smartphone Tripod mount (on eBay, on Amazon).
Since this is a lightweight and pretty compact, I will be carrying this one to my upcoming vacations to try it out. Also, building this gave me pretty good ideas on how to construct pinhole cameras with wood, and maybe I will try putting something together soon.
