Hi Matti--

Thanks for looking at my work and the nice comments.

I suppose if you put a pinhole over a lens, it wouldn't be a true
pinhole, but might be worth trying. I think the lens would still affect
the depth of field? Has anyone on the list ever done this? Other than
that, if you have or can get your hands on a 35mm camera with removable
lens, you can mount a pinhole in a spare bodycap with a hole drilled in
it. I have done that with my digital Olympus E-Volt E500; I have one cap
with a pinhole and another with a pinhole sieve mounted in it.

Or you could make a pinhole camera; there are many websites out there
that give very good detailed instructions.

Thanks again--

Jan
