Re: digital pinholes

hi there!

when i've been at the photokina in cologne last year, there were some
people of monochrome (www.monochrome.de i think). in germany they
distribute lots of pinhole stuff, like the zero 200 etc. they also wanted
to take digital pinholes at the photokina using a "professional" 4x5"
digital back, but it wasn't possible. they said the back won't get enough
light for that. instead they used a zone-plate with the digital back, and
they did not have any problems with that. i think they had some photos of
that on their webpage. it was pretty funny. they did use studio-flashes
for taking the pictures (4000 Ws I think. or 2 4000 Ws!!) which were close
to the people. and because the flashes were that close the people had to
wear this "glasses" with which you can look at the eclipse. i think they
had use that strong flashes because of the digital back. so it got enough
light.

but as it seems there aren't any problems with the D30.

greetings

 carsten.
