If the edges of the photos are sharp, hard edges, it's
probably vignetting -- something in the light path
from the outside world to the film is blocking the
light. So you're getting a nice clean photo of the
edges of the lens holder, for instance.
If the edge is a slow fade from picture to dim picture
to black, then it's falloff. Pinholes as such don't
have an image coverage circle -- the edges just get
dimmer and dimmer as they get farther from the pinhole
and get less & less light.
I think. Any quibbles, anyone?
