Can you guys offer some info on making a pinhole for a 5x7 camera. I would like to have about 135 mm. I have read some info and it suggested a #10 needle, but wow is that incredibly small. Maybe drilling would be better. Thanks for any assistance with pointing me in the right direction. Ignore

Hans Since the distance between the hole and the film support at the back of the camera is approx. 5mm, to get the best possible sharpness the pinhole should be 0.25 mm. However, part of the charme of pinhole photos is a slight fuzzyness combined with the fact that it does not matter wether

An additional data point: in Outlook I can filter using the From: address, and since all the email comes from pinhole-discussion, it would be easy enough to use that filter, instead of the subject line. I imagine you can set a similar filter in other programs.

I also use the subject line to filter my mail into different folders, but if the subject line was shortened to just pinhole we'd still have the filtering capabilities and the subject lines would be shorter. Mike Keller http://www.mikekellerphoto.com Don't let your mouth write no check your tail

Hi Ricardo I receive discussion entries in the same mail box with all my other messages. It has therefore been most helpful to me to be able to quickly identify pinhole messages from others. I prefer to postpone reading them when I have plenty of time. [pinhole] as a prefix in the subject line
