Re: Re: [pinhole] Press Camera and Pinhole

Thanks.

OK, given that, I did scan some of the resulting images, but never posted
them due to a breakdown in my website and lack of time. I have "good"
photos, and I have "broken" photos that I can't figure out what went wrong,
but I guess it was due to camera design. I never could figure out what
caused the problems. I'll try to get off my butt to post them.

The wide-angle on this thing ends up being equivalent to an 11mm lens on a
35 mm camera. That was exactly what I wanted at the time, but is not my
usual mode of "viewing", so I eventually need to build another lens holder
for the front with a more normal focal length.

By the way, over the years a couple of people have given me grief about my
little "claim to rights" at the end of the page. I have no idea what the
law is on this, but the design is simple, lending itself to production, and
I didn't want someone ripping off my design to sell to others. Personal use
is no problem. I probably don't have a leg to stand on, but, hey.
