Sebastian, It is true that pinholes do not distort perspective in themselves; the pinhole's image is dependent upon the relationship of the point (pinhole) to the plane of projection (film). The distortion you are seeing, assuming that the pinhole is placed on the perpendicular to a (flat,

Hi ! I've done some experiments with slits in front of my SLR. It looks to me, that there is a difference between on slit and two slits. (that is contradicory to the experiments of Guillermo a few days ago) The image, that is produced by two slits seem to be clearer/sharper. (But this effekt

Hello ! In some books you can read that the pinhole makes no linear distortion as a normal lens does ? But the pictures of my super-wide angle pinhole camera (141°) are on the edges very distorted ! (e.g. clouds , zoom-effekt ) What does linear mean ? Thank you ! Sebastian
