I use beading needles, which can be purchased in any clothing materials store
(Jo Ann Fabric, for example).

If you look at the FAQ in the Pinhole section of my website, you will see
complete instructions for making your own pinholes.  When I have the need, I
will make a dozen at a time, then measure and label them.  I've always got the
right size when I go to make another camera.

Cheers -

hello

some info on ann hamiltons mouth pinholes are here...
http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/hamilton/clip2.html

i caught a few of the episodes of art 21 and it has some great artists
and fascinating concepts.

does anyone have, or know of, a reliable and accurate source of pre drilled
pinholes? i did get some from www.pinholeformat.com but these may be
too large for my needs.  or perhaps common items to use with accurate
sizing?
ive read about numbered sewing needles, but have never been able to find
them, do they still exist?

i ask because i am trying to convert a 35mm camera into a working pinhole
camera and for ideal exposure and focus i need about a size .30 mm, or
approximately something for in the  f/200-225 range for a 60-65mm focal
length.

thanks. -stephen

Hi Stephen

About two years ago I bought a set of 12 micro-drilled
pinholes from Pinhole Resource. This is the link to it:
http://www.pinholeresource.com/products.html#micro-drilled
I used the one of .0102" to mount on a body cap for my Nikon
camera. It works perfectly, although I don't use it often. I
prefer to use my tins with b/w paper.

Regards
Markus
