Hi Hans , I often use a Pinhole Body Cap on my old Nikon FE body or sometimes on a Nikon F801 because it allows me to have both lens and pinhole camera when I can bring with me only minimum weight of photo equipment... I had bought 2 years ago a Finney pinhole body cap which I ordered at Pinhole Resource. It is sold with the following data : f/ 180 @ 50 mm Diameter :.011", which makes something between 0,27 and 0,28 mm I think .
The results are really very pleasant ! Hope it helps Cheers from France Jean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Markus Birsfelder" <b...@active.ch> To: <pinhole-discussion@p at ???????> Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2001 7:43 PM Subject: AW: [pinhole-discussion] Pinhole size for a Nikon bodycap > 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.
