Our special designed exposure scale comes with a lanyard to allow you to wear it around the neck, keeping it both handy and secure. It also comes with a key ring (not shown in the picture) for you to carry the scale as key holder.

Or you can install the scale to your pinhole camera. Installation of the scale is easy, what you need is only a 2.5 drill bit and some glue. Locate the scale and fix it with the provided screws.
