Just in case someone tries this with a Pentax camera other than a LX.
A pinhole body cap won't work with automatic metering on Pentax cameras
other than a LX. The body cap does not engage the aperture coupling
mechanism on the body. You need to mount the pinhole to a t-mount adapter
or a m42-kmount adapter so the body knows that it is metering wide open.
I've taken some pinhole photos on Sensia II slide film with a pinhole
mounted to a t-mount adapter on my zx-m. Automatic exposures were accurate
with bright sun - but I could barely see my subject in the viewfinder.
