try it. I have a 4x5 that does about a 30mm focal length. The fall off is a really neat effect. You can crop it if you don't like it for the particular image. andy

Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] 6x22 pinhole camera coverage?! The camera is said to have a 60mm focal length. Does anyone have experience with images made that wide, nearly 8.5 inches, from such a focal lenth (at f/360) on 120 film? Are the edges even useful at that extreme? I guess what I'm getting at is this camera a gimmick? Will the user most likey have to crop only the center portion of the neg. for a usable image and not really get the full 22cm effect? What do you think?
