If you want to provide some mechanical protection to the ZP, you could first mount the ZP to a piece of the same material you use to make your pinholes and then mount that to your shutter, lens board, cardboard box, Quaker container, etc. > Has anyone done Holga zone-plating and have any suggestions? Not Holga, but Lubitel. Depending what speed of film you use you may find that outdoors exposure times get very short, bellow 1/2 secs in many cases, having a shutter is something nice in this cases, that's why I like a lubitel with its not that accurate but certainly usable shutter.
