What i meant was as close as i can get to small things, thus making them larger. When you work at less than the focal length of the pinhole, the image is sometimes more fuzzy. my closest closeup was with a camera I made by drilling out the lens and shutter, then putting on a pinhole. I took a closeup of a dead fly on w indow sill. The fly was in focus, the tree a hundred feet waway waqs in focus, and a piece of the shutter spring inside the camera was in focus. - Original Message - From: ROGER ARMOUR ro...@rharmour.fsnet.co.uk To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

I experimented with photographing a coin at diminishing distances obtaining magnifications of 20X and more at 1cm with a 0.16 mm pinhole. Lighting became a problem and the image became blurred.
