Re: Zone Plate Focus stringency

Just as a point of reference, if you're going for this look
you can also get it with a Lomo LC1 - it's a 35mm, with
a lens with pinhole-like falloff, and it has an exposure meter
that will keep the shutter open until it thinks it's received
enough light - I've had it stay open 5 minutes. I have photos
from halloween in Greenwich Village a few years ago that
look very much like this one.
