Re: [pinhole-discussion] Finney Pinhole
I use a finney 4x5 camera which has pinhole zoneplate.you can go for optimum sharpness http://www1.photosig.com/go/photos/view?id=681887 or all fuzzy http://www1.photosig.com/go/photos/view?id=896589 by adjusting the focal length on the bellows.I think you may have the wrong size pinhole for your camera . chip renner Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Finney Pinhole
- Original Message - From: Christian Harkness christianharkn...@hotmail.com Well, no!!!??? You should not be getting a sharp image - isn't that one reason for using pinhole in the first place. If you want that with your 35mm camera, you best use a Nikon lens. Interesting, opinion. Here is mine: You should not be getting a soft image from a glass lens, ins't that one reason for using a glass lens in the first place?. If you want that, you are best using your pinhole camera. For some reason I think it is less easy to accept this statement. In my case, I make images for my consumption alone, sometimes I feel like sharp pinhole images sometime I feel like totally defocused ones, which is the reason I want to know what's the so called optimum pinhole, this way I know what size to avoid when I want them defocused and what size to target for when I want them sharp. Nothing wrong, IMO, with wanting relatively sharp images from pinholes, some times. It's a very cool product. However, all the pictures are soft (not always cool). Not always cool : I agree with that, sometimes is good some degree of sharpness, altho nothing is never really sharp with pinholes. Guillermo

RE: [pinhole-discussion] Finney Pinhole
Well, you are using 35mm film. I made a body cap for my Nikon and got the same results (which is what I wanted). Use medium or large format film and you will get sharper images (you can see my 8X10 pinhole images at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hmpi/Projects/BearSkins/BearSkins.htm).
