Paper or film won't bend around a tight sphere, only a cylinder.
Some months ago, I tried to build a small spherical film plane camera around

A spherical film plane would eliminate one of the cosine squared

That's right, it eliminates the one COS^2 factor to account for inverse
square law, also eliminates
A spherical shaped film plane would be ideal to maximize the edge
sharpness, I guess I should say: to minimize edge softness (instead), as
well as minimizing the fall-off. Practically, though, cylindrical is the
shape most suitable to accomodate either film or paper. I believe that in

How spherical would the film plane have to be to get
this there is
minimal distortion at the edges and its equally sharp all the way around.

This means the spherically shaped film
holder would have to be different for each focal length. Ouch. :)

Thanks, George, that's what I was trying to confirm. I should have
said something more like the distance from pinhole to film plane would
be the radius of the sphere. This means the spherically shaped film
holder would have to be different for each focal length. Ouch. :)

Let's say I'm building an 8x10 pinhole camera (which I am), and wanted
to build a special curved film holder. Should the spere be around the
distance from pinhole to film center,

Wow,
Very cool. As to edge sharpness, is the film supported all the way
across by rails of some sort? Is it possible that in building the
extension the ends went off plane? Or (can you tell I'm just guessing
here? g) maybe the rails need to be curved just a bit to accommodate
the hole.

I also have a question: is the loss of sharpness on the far edges
inevitable, or can it be corrected somehow? perhaps thinner stock? This
hole was made (fairly carefully) out of a Coke can
I would definitely say that thinner stock would be appropriate.

I built the camera out of a Holga using bookboard to expand it
