So we are talking about an exposure of about 10 secs on 400 film. Colour shift would be obvious, movements may or may not be pleasing and you either like or hate the "sharpness". Distortion is practically non-existent. There is a big following of pin-hole enthusiasts. For those who are interested, Avenon makes a pin hole lens in LTM. With any 28/90mm SM-M adapter, this is useable on your M-camera. Dan K.
