Pinhole Camera Made of Dreams and Passion...
You may like to hear the voices of some of our customers who have ordered our cameras. Below is some feedback from our customers. Yours is also welcomed.
Dear Zernike
Many thanks for your gesture!
I don't recall if I really saw a discount, I just really wanted the magnetic plate due to the stability it can offer on a wider variety of supports.
I admire the craftsmanship in your cameras, and I love supporting your work!
Kind regards

Good morning Zernike.
The package with the 810 Challenger and the 612F cameras arrived, and everything came thru the trip in fine condition.
After inspecting both cameras I have to again complement you on your design and craftsmanship of construction. Both cameras could literally be displayed as art.
The design and finish, both internally and externally, is of the highest standards. While both are wonderfully elegant cameras, the 612F with it’s pressure plate for the film points to your design-work going into a new direction.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you have on your “drawing-board” and in process on your “work-bench” in the time to come.
Best regards,
Peter Stevens

Good morning. The 75D and the 135D package arrived safely yesterday, and, after unpacking everything, there was no damage at all to any of the items.
Now that I have the 75D in hand it is even more beautiful than in the photos on your website. I congratulate you again on your design and craftsmanship - both are superb. But as lovely as both the 75D and the 135D are, the design and implementation of the magnetic internal filter holder in the 75D is outstanding! The sheer elegance of the filter holder’s design and construction are a near stroke of genius!
Well done, sir! Very well done, indeed!
Is there any estimation as to when the order placed for the 810 Challenger and the 612F may be packed and shipped?
Thank you again for the 75D and 135D. I’m looking forward to using both in the coming days.

Dear Zernicke.
The 6x9 camera that I purchased from your company, which was shipped only a few days ago, arrived very quickly here in Vancouver, BC.
I sincerely appreciate what a fine quality product you're producing. It's beautiful, and I'm excited to start making images with it. If there's anything worth sharing, then I will certainly upload some images to your online gallery for consideration.
Warm regards,

Dear Zernika,
Just a quick note to let you know that the camera + extension arrived yesterday afternoon in perfect condition.
It is also a thing of beauty that could be displayed as art. Of course, I will use it in the field and have just taken a box of 8x10 Tri-X out of my freezer for that purpose.
I also wanted to say that the method of making the 80mm camera a 160mm camera is wonderful.
I’m so glad the restrictions were lifted so that the 8x10 could join my 2 1/4 Zero image camera for pinhole adventures.
Best regards,

Hello Again Mr. Au,
My 69D arrived on May 30th. Oh what a beautifully crafted camera. Absolutely beautiful. The pride you must have in your product shows not only in the camera, but in the manner in which you package it for its transit, and also in the service. Reason to feel pride in Zero Image.
Last night I developed my first roll of film. Here is one of the images. It is a historic old mill on a beautiful creek near my home.
Thank you again. Photography has been my passion since I was 16. I am 73 now and the fire of that passion has been greatly fuelled by your beautiful camera.
Jim Williams , Canada [6/3/2019]
Thank you so much for installing that [cable release adapter] for me!
I'll figure out a way to tape the filters on.
I have 2 of your 6 X 9 - and love them!
Truly, I appreciate your beautiful products and professional communication.
Yours sincerely, Sally

I just loaded up my first roll and went for a walk even though it's only 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Couldn't wait.
Thank you for your sincere work, and this won't be my last Zero Image.

Good afternoon!
Yesterday a series of my

Dramaten theater in
Stockholm during the Nobel
reading by Kazuo Ishiguro. I
cannot explain how honored I
am as well as pleased that my
imagery is finding this
audience.
Most of the photos are made
with my wooden zone plate

I have received this afternoon the zero image 4x5 75B and am already completely in love with it. Your cameras are the most beautifully crafted, the cleverest and the simplest one could wish for. This one is even more lovely, if at all possible, than my zero image 2000s. It actually looks like a jewish prayer book in its binding! I must confess that my first reaction when i opened the box was, i have to order immediately another one in case anything happens to this..and I might at that!
Daphne Schnitzer, Israel [1/07/2017]

Mario Kunz, Switzerland [21/11/2016]
Hello Zernike, I hope that you are well. . . .
I am extremely impressed with the camera. The build quality is superb, and the definition that it is capable of producing is astounding. I am really pleased with my purchase.
I have put four films through the camera so far, and have been extremely satisfied with the results each time.
I went on holiday last month to Cornwall in the UK, and deliberately left my ‘conventional’ camera at home, relying completely on my Zero 69. I found the exercise highly enjoyable and the resulting photographs truly amazing.
In January next year, I have been invited to take pinhole camera portraits of some musician friends of mine, something that I am very much looking forward to.

Paul Woloschuk, United Kingdom [30/10/2016]
Hello, just a quick note to say THANK YOU!!!!

I have received the cable-release adaptor, many thanks for your prompt service.
I took the camera out for my first experience of pinhole photography yesterday.
The main problem that I had was trying to concentrate on timing the exposure, whilst answering questions about the camera from curious people walking by!
I think I am going to really enjoy pinhole photography. There is so much to learn, especially with regard to exposure, but it is highly absorbing.
I have to say that I am most impressed by the build quality of the camera.
Paul Woloschuk, United Kingdom [13/8/2016]
I was well impressed with the quality of your products having found and gotten interested in pinhole photography. Overall, the added benefits of having a well built commercially available camera add the consistency and precision that I was looking for--as opposed to a cardboard DIY model.
Justin Myers, USA [25/7/2016]
Camera arrived safe and sound:)
It is beautiful!!! Thanks I'll keep you posted!
Ann Sosbe, USA [3/7/2016]
Dear Zernike,
I've just picked up my package, what a joy! And what a BEAUTIFUL work you have done!
I'm so very very grateful, and now I'm looking forward to try them both!
My "first", the little 2000 now with zone plate, I'm really exited to try it.
And my absolute favourite, the gorgeous Z 612 F, now back, more beautiful than ever!
Thanks again dear friend, and have a fantastic weekend!
Kindest regards

Dear Zernike Au,
This is just a message to let you know that I received my Zero 2000 in good order, and that I am very happy with it. The camera is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, and I really like the engraving, which gives it a nice, personal touch. My 'back-to-nature' version has a fine natural color, but still has a very solid finish, which feels very durable ...
Kind regards,

Hi Zernike,
Thank you for sending the camera so quickly. It arrived and it’s beautiful (as you know). And I got the cable release you suggested from Samy’s - I used to live right near there in Los Angeles and bought my first “real” camera from them in the 1980’s.
...
Thank you — i hope that in a month or so I have some nice images. (I took the camera to my office today and one of my clients was very impressed with it. )

Message: Dear Au Zernike,
I would like to thank you for the wonderful Zero cameras.
I\'ve used them since 2004 (Zero2000, then Zero612B and
Zero45 deluxe). At first, it was a hobby just for fun but it
has become very serious. Special pleasure for the many
exhibitions of the pictures I made with Zero cameras. Next
time on 2 December, in the Hungarian National
Dancetheater Gallery. This month, an article appeared in
the Hungarian edition of National Geographic, and photos
you made with my machines are also included. Thanks for
the help I could get in there, too! Attila Hupján (fregolik)
Attila Hupján, Hungary [30/11/13]
Dear Zernike,
You must think I'm crazy...
But I just LOVE your cameras, I love to use them, and I love the results I get from them. And they are so incredibly beautiful to look at and to have.
So it is a great pleasure for me!
One of my sons may be interested too, but he hasn't decided yet... So I may come back once again....
But I'm sure coming back with images for your gallery!
My new 612F is stunning, and the images are great!!
I love my little 2000 also. I have made a "pressure plate" for it that seems to work quite good.
Thank you for your beautiful work!!
Have a lovely weekend, and take your time with my camera, I'm in no hurry.
All the best

Thanking you. Hi. Received it today. Stunning bit of craftsmanship!
