RE: Pinhole Digi-cam

But can you bend that sensor around a tube like you can with film or
paper. Maybe it can satisfy those who use flat film planes but I like
to bend things a bit or overlap exposures or make really wide angle
cameras. If I had a SLR digital I would surely use it for pinhole but I
wouldn't let dust accumulate on my film cameras, they have too much
flexibility to offer.
