[Leica] Leica M6 pinhole lens bodycap

[ZaaX@aol.com]

I recently purchased a pinhole bodycap lens from Calumet for my M6TTL. This 
has got to be my strangest purchase for my M gear yet. Imagine a 'lens' for 
your Leica that costs only $44.95 and is f/128! It is well made utilizing a 
Leica brand bodycap and a piece metal in the center with a .011 inch hole in 
it.
I have a shot a few photos with this and must admit that they are quite 
sharp. Objects just a few feet away look like they are much farther away 
which is to be expected.
Course at f/128 it is not exactly the streetshooters dream lens and I must 
admit that the bokeh is rather poor. However it is a lot of fun to play with.
If you would like to see it go to www.calumetphoto.com and under search type 
"pinhole." The page describing the cap for the M6 notes that for the M6 in 
the photo is not included. Darn.
