The 17mm pinhole lens was manufactured by a fellow by the name of Dominique Stroobant, a photographer and sculptor who lives in Italy. (Additional info on him in Eric Renner's Pinhole Photography book.) I have also used foamcore board to create short focal length pinhole "lenses" for LTM cameras. 35mm Pinhole "works" better for me with wide-angle focal lengths both aesthetically and because of the ease in using the larger apertures. And the Barnack cameras with their short lens flange to film plane distance and their "feel" seem especially suited to pinhole. The other photos on the site were created with reloaded and "altered" single-use Konica Panoramics. The statement on the site http://home.earthlink.net/~sandwell explains some of it. Any additional questions please email me off list. Howard Wells
