I'm considering building a camera obscura to project prints. The
prints would have a max. dimension of 20 inches. Have any of
you guys built one of these? Any suggestions?

Are you sure you're looking for a camera obscura?
It sounds like you want an opaque projector.


Also known as an Episcope. Search for that online and you may get some more
information.


Opaque projector or episcope... thanks! Didn't know that.

Also my apologies for this topic, which I now realize is OT. (Unless I
use a digital lens, of course...)

Hello, KS:

Don't stop with the lens...add an image sensor, and build a real
"digital camera obscura!" :-J


Cordially,
