Thanks greg,
First off, thanks, I believe that your reply helps me "focus" a bit.
Well to answer, I could use either. I do have a nice wide angle
glass lens, but any unusual effects I can get will find their way
into something. I had simply heard some rumours that 16mm is too
small a format for this technique. Though, in contrast, I have also
seen images on the web made by pinhole lens using the exact same
camera I use. (although viewing an image on a computer screen isn't
quite as definative as seeing a projected image with your own two
eyes) I suppose the next step is to try making the lens holder, and
then just experimenting, to see if I agree with the rumours or
not...True to the medium, there appears to be no "off-the-shelf"
answer.
P.S. Do you know any more about these "spy camera lenses" that you
mentioned?? Characteristics? What makes 'em special? What do they do??
Always curious,
-Ed Gendron
