Thanks for responding: I am sending one booklet to John McAdam. I would like to send a free booklet to you, but I have run out of slightly damaged books, I give the damaged ones away. I will send you free information about the booklet. It is not very expensive if you decide to purchase it.

Hi This is Lonnie: The focal lengths that you mentioned for your pinhole camera are of a very wide angle of view. Many pinhole photographers do use a wide angle view. I have a friend who is a professional advertising photographer who has a pinhole camera that is like a fisheye lens. The nor
