SUMMARY
The Mania, a handcrafted wooden pinhole camera by Ralph Mann, offers a modular system for 120 film, capable of shooting 6x6, 6x12, and 6x17 panoramas. Focal length is adjusted by adding or removing oak spacers, shifting the equivalent focal length from 35mm to 75mm or more. The camera features magnetic construction, mechanical shutters, a filter rail, and allows for both forward and reverse film winding, enabling focal length changes mid-roll. It also includes tripod mounts, bubble levels, and framing dots.
