Anyone have a (not so > technical) way for making a pinhole camera out of a cheapo 35 mm CVS > special? I'd guess that camera has a focal length of between 35mm and 50mm, a better needle to use to make the pinhole would be a #15. You already managed to remove the lens, install a pinhole and make images with it, you already modified, successfully, your CVS, what you need to do is to make a new pinhole with a #15 needle and give it another try. BTW, I'd use a f/stop of f/180 if the pinhole is made with the #15 needle. Guillermo
