Mark Did you get any sharp images ? mine are a little blured , out of focus when printed on 10x15 cm .the smaller hole I tried ( 0.1 mm gave sharper rsults than the 0.25 mm hole .
I wander if there is realy an optimum hole size like some articles and "calulators " suggest or is it " the smaller hole the sharper image " with panalty of higher f number Zami -----Original Message----- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???????

Ben, There's also a book which shows how to make large format cameras which could obviously be scaled down a bit to your requirements. The book also shows how to make various development equipment. Unfortunately, although I have I have it at home, I can't for the life remember the title etc. but it's available from Focal Press. Their web site should have it. If you're interested, e mail me and I'll get the details. Regards, Mark > > > --__--__-- > --__--__-- > > > Anyone has tried converting a 35 mm camera to pinhole ? Zami, I've converted quite a few too, including a Zenit and a Pentax. I did so for ease of film carriage and the for experimentation of film as you suggest. I've used brass, fixed with gaffers tape, but also very cheap tin foil which has never failed me. I like to keep it basic! I've had some creditable results and, occasionally, some very good ones. I'd like to have a crack at some wild types of film but expense prohibits. I've used the more expensive films but more often used out of date and no brand film from cheapo £ shops. Works just as well. As for pinhole size - I just guessed.
