while i could be totally wrong, i've noticed that on color prints, a pinhole "lens flare" (like when the camera is pointed close to the sun) yeilds a rainbow-ish halo. it could be the effect of the different colors' diffraction values as they reflect off the edge of the pinhole that seperates them out into the spectrum like that. in other words, this might be the chance to see the different color blurs... /aaron
