[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]i bought one of the leica pinhole caps (approx. f128 with a 30mm hole) and here are 3 test shots i took with it at the park across the street from my apartment: <http://www.tristantom.com/photo/pinhole/> using kodak t400cn. the trickiest part was that i was handholding the camera at 1/4 sec, even in full sunlight! methinks a tripod would yield sharper results if there is such a thing with a pinhole. i like the 3rd shot the best, i think it shows a good example of the texture a pinhole shot can yield. i was hoping for more vignetting, but i like the wide angle of the pinhole cap on the leica. i don't know if the pinhole cap was worth the $55. (it would be more fun and satisfying to make your own pinhole cap or better yet, your own pinhole camera!). on the other hand, this is probably gonna be the cheapest darn leica accessory i'll ever have the privilege of buying..i guess it has some potential for pseudo art school wanna be type shots I've been dying to take lately... - -- Tristan Tom <http://TristanTom.COM/>
