Hi,
I'm new to this site. I'm wondering if anyone has ever set up a view camera with movements using a pinhole instead of a lens. I made a 4x5 pinhole camera by taking the glass out of an ansco shutter and gluing a laser drilled pinhole to the aperture blades and threading the lens directly into a cigar box that i fitted to accept 4x5 film carriers. It takes wonderful pictures.
However I just picked up a graphic view II with a wollensack 90mm 6.8 lens (on a recessed lensboard). I'm planning on using it with a pinhole and trying out the camera movements. Not much info out there on this subject it seems........Since pinholes give you an infinite depth of field, would the tilt/shift adjustments still give you selective focus or does that just work with a lens with the aperture all the way open? I'm guessing that what would be more applicable is using the camera movements adjust for converging lines, etc. It will be a little while before I can get going on it but I do have some 4x5 fuji velvia left that I could use to test it out. Any insight would be appreciated. I have plenty of experience in arriving at exposure times with the cigar box 4x5 but not with camera movements.
here's a link to the color pinholes on flickr:
