Pinhole Digi-cam

I've mounted pinholes on Nikon digital SLRs to good effect. The only major
problem is that the great depth of field of the tiny aperture causes any
grit or dust on the low-pass filter to become a prominent and unwanted
feature in the image. Dust and grit that does not show up in normal lensed
usage. Converting a digi-cam to pinhole might avoid the problem. Other than
that they are great for pinhole, offering the instant feedback I love so
much with Polaroid without reciprocity effects.

However, it does inject an element of guilt into the process, at least for
me, that my film box polaroids and other pinhole cameras don't produce. I'm
not a Luddite and the image is still being formed through a pinhole but. . .

Peace and Happy Holidays,

Howard Wells
