    I like the idea of a $1200 Sinar zoom back used on a $79 wooden pinhole. The Swiss camera designers are doing somersauts. In their graves.

    Send us a pictures of your rig.

    Don't underestimate those pinholes. Especially when you get one on the sweet spot. DOF is amazing.

    The last time I made a pinhole camera, I figured out the angle of view and made a sport finder out of wire and attached it to the top. It was just a little loop and a rectangle. You put your eye to the little loop and the rectangle marks your frame.
