    also interesting would be how to mount helicoids and how to attach filmholders. maybe 3d-krpc is only a reseller. must search for 18° on ebay.

    2. he confused FL values and fstops. compare these with
    http://www.mrpinhole.com/holesize.php
    i already informed them.
    highly interesting pinholes with shutter/cable-release. e.g. prontor-press-range is from 2-32 secs.
    now its highest time someone will produce removable shift-plates. pinholes, zone-plates and zone-sieves ala skinkphoto but with shifted positions. e.g. a simple one only up. by rotating cam one will get shift downwards.
    2. He didnt confuse anything: his FL is 40mm thanks to camera-design...
    like aupremierplans table is telling specifit pinhole sizes match a certain range for optimal sharpness.

    Re: 4X5 rangefinder from China

    There must be a thread about the western name of the chinese 18° cameras. Cosmos Circle 4x5
    pinhole-shutters are complete sets. pinhole-plates integrated. one cannot replace e-g by replacing the with zoneplate, zonesieve(20mm) by skinkfoto.

    Update: New Shutter has replaceable Pinholes but others will not match only their own. shutter is for copal-0-lensboard. with counterring. also two holes for screwing.
    Have seen details but still open questions.
    3s-krpc on ebay is sometimes working. worked on my administrator-account last week all of a sudden then stopped maybe its my pc. couldnt reach his store. maybe censorship. only googling helped.
    Here are the links:
    he has now also Bodycaps:
    https://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/COSMOS-C...r/192965877532

    The listing is for one NEW 18° Laser Drilled Laser Drilled Pinhole Piece.

    Aperture size : 0.1mm/0.15mm/0.2mm/0.25mm/0.3mm/0.35mm/0.4mm/0.45mm/0.5mm/0.6mm/0.7mm/0.8mm/0.9mm/1.0mm

    Conversions of Polaroid cameras to shooting 4x5 sheet film certainly an option to consider. A fellow photographer picked up a used (of course) Polaroid camera at a garage sale for a mere few bucks. Adapted a 4x5 back to it. He said it was an "easy" adaption, but then he is very talented machinist, all for less than $100. Certainly one option to consider.
