Re: New site pinhole

Hi--

The HexCamera I built is based on this proportion, but I was simply
lucky to stumble onto the right size hexagonal box that would work with
a cylinder made from a small oatmeal container. You can see the camera
and some images at http://www.jankapoor.net/HexCamera.html.

I would say go ahead with what you are doing; you might be pleasantly
surprised! At least you will add to your pinhole knowledge.

Happy pinholing--

Jan
