MIA 617m 3p

A panoramic pinhole camera with three ways to play.

The MIA 617 3P is a multi-format pinhole camera designed to shoot 6×6, 6×12 and 6×17 images on 120 film, with very little vignetting across the formats.

The 3P design uses three pinholes, allowing you to choose the best pinhole position for each format. This keeps the camera flexible while still making the most of the wide panoramic frame.

You can shoot classic square 6×6 images, wider 6×12 frames, or go all in with the full 6×17 panoramic format. It is a camera made for slow compositions, wide views, and proper experimental fun.

On the left side of the camera there are angle-of-view guides for 35 mm format, useful for framing strong panoramic images. On the right side, there are the medium format angle-of-view guides, helping with composition across the different formats.

The camera also includes a rear red window frame counter, a film reminder window on the back, double knobs for managing double exposures, and magnetic knobs, shutter and film holder to keep everything simple and practical in use.

This is a camera for big skies, wide scenes, strange compositions and slow-looking photography.
