Possible Pinhole Experiment

[greencardigan]

The recent pinhole pics have got me thinking.

I currently use the pinhole in body cap technique but find I would like a bit wider FOV.

Getting a wider FOV is acheived by placing the pinhole closer to the sensor. I was thinking of modifying my current pinhole/bodycap so that the pinhole is set back from it's current position.

So, does anyone know how can I work out the current clearance between the swing path of the mirrors and the body cap? Just wondering how much closer I can get.

I and probably others will be interested to find this out, could you post your information if you find it through other means? Thanks PS probably worth putting what model of camera you have
