Andrew, f/stops progress by a factor of 1.414 which is the square root of 2, therefore, the numerical value of f/stops double every other stop. If we start at f/11 (we could have started with any f/stop), the next one is f/16, since they double every other stop, the progression would go like this:

Can anyone help? What's the proper progression of f-stops above f90? Is f128 next and tell a couple more if you have the info at your fingertips. I've picked up a Finney Pinhole Bodycap for my Leica M. It's listed as a 30mm, approx. f128 and my Minolta meter goes to f90. So is f128 the next f-stop

Hi Zami, I have an old Yashica XYZ, I don't really remember the specs, but I found an adapter to use pentax thread lenses with it (it transforms the bayonet into a thread). I had some aluminum tubes made to fit this thread, so now it is easy to change focal distances and/or transform from Zone Pla

Yes, there is a pinhole diameter that will give best sharpness for each distance from pinhole to film. The simplest version of the formula is (distance to film in inches)(55) equals the square of the optimal diameter in thousandths of an inch. In your case (1.12 inches)(55) equals 68.99, the square
