I ran into some problems trying to get my Pentax body cap close to the film
plane. That pesky mirror kept hanging up on the recessed portion of the body
cap. I was able to work around it to some extent by composing on a tripod,
removing the body cap/pinhole assembly, locking the mirror up, re-attaching
the body cap and finally making my exposure. Still couldn't get close enough
for a nice round vignette but I was able to get a wider angle than before.
