I have the 127 lens but I would like a wide-angle pinhole and/or a tele-pinhole. How would I zero in the pinhole for it's appropriate focal length? ( I.E a pinhole that is a 90mm focal length or a 300mm focal length) Also what is the longest/shortest pinhole that one could use on a crown? Any advice would be appreciated. |

Optimized holes aren't necessarily what's used as it gives you the sharpest image, and there are much easier ways of doing that. I suggest you look at http://www.pinhole.com zone plates are another odditiy, giving you the eitherial look of a pinhole but with an 8 stop gain, these you do have to focus. |
