Alan Greene gave classes on pinhole photography at the Cambridge Center for
Adult Education in Cambridge, MA. I took one a couple years ago. Besides
pinhole, we made 8x10 cameras with simple lenses, just like old box
cameras. I think he got the lenses from Edmund Scientific. We never
used anything as complicated as a two element lens. I haven't heard from
him in a while so I don't know if he is still in the Cambridge area.
