Murray,
I really like your pinholes. I especially like the vingetting on all the
photos. I have several boxes of converted cameras. My problem is I build
them and run out of time to try them.

I have moved to 120 format because I like the larger size negative. My
favorites are my Zero 2000 [purchased], a Spartus Pinhole conversion & a
Spartus Zone Plate conversion, and a Pringles Can Pinhole [I use cut sections
of 120 film].
Keep shooting since is a whole new joy to see the images at the end of all
that construction!
Happy WPPD this Sunday!
