    Well, I am sad he has passed, such a joyous soul as gleaned from his book

    Rest in Peace, Eric Renner

    Your book is inspirational!

    I met Eric Renner in the 1990s, The Pinhole Journal he published for many years with his wife Nancy Spencer and the Pinhole book are pretty wonderful.

    The book is very useful and shows image variations we never see on this forum

    A pinhole is not a lens optically, physically, nor mathematically. A completely different beast that fools you to call it a lens.

    OK a Pinhole 'acts' as lens, but is only an aperture

    However, we now know light bends without a lens
