With the recent talk of Pinhole lenses reminding me that I have one that I spent way too much money on I dug it out and took it on a walk.

It almost made me cry when I saw the dust bunnies on my newly cleaned sensor...thank god that they are on the periphery and will never show at even f/32



I wish that was taken with a Pinhole!!!









Trying to hand hold 1/10 @ Hi 1 (3200) didnt work too well and I really needed more light

its takes blurry pictures, take it back

I reckon this is one of the those very specialised devices that if used correctly could produce nice results - I think teh composition would be key, choosing the right subject and compo would be quite difficult.

Its pretty though....yes subject and composition would be very important when using this lens

I didnt realise you wore contacts....

Cameron,

These look too soft to be effective.

The pinhole examples I have seen on the web are little soft but have strong vignettes but not as soft as this. Is there something technically wrong? Maybe your pinhole is not focusing on the sensor properly?

Perhaps more stationary objects may be better.

Maybe it's your camera, not the lens.....

I dont think it was the camera....no ugly mug mounted to the camera!

Hmm... In that case it must be that you haven't stopped down enough... kidding

I'll remember to bring out the finer pinhole next time!
