Pinhole photography is not about "sharpness", it is about pinhole
photography.
To put it another way (perhaps more clearly, perhaps not), it is not
about how sharp the photo is and it is not about how unsharp the photo
is. What it IS about is what the photo looks like. Sometimes being as

Eric,
To make your body cap pinhole closer to the film plane would make it get
in the way of the mirror. You might need to find a range finder camera
so that you can recess the hole. My image for WPPD 2001 (#95) was made
with a Leica that I had made a 15mm recess adapter. I made this out of

Interesting thread.
I don't seem to be able to get away from sharpness and detail. My main
camera, handmade, taking 4 x 5 in a grafmatic holder, produces images
that are pretty sharp and convey a lot of detail, yet the images are
unmistakably pinhole. I made a Canon AE1 body cap pinhole for WPPD
t the apeture.

That is a heck of a good image, my idea of an ideal pinhole image, well
executed no matter what the apeture.

Good luck with the slit images, I just did a series with the same process -
beautiful images result from the process - not quite pinhole, not quite
anything else, just remember to keep the slits clean - if not you get a
horrible banding across the image - sorry but the run on sentences are kind
Not to defend Guillermo, who in any case needs no defending, but I agree
that the optimals are a good place for most people to start. It is a
good place to begin your exploration because it guarantees a reasonable
image. I show students a variety of different efects using zone plate
and various pin

In the very far past I've been "nailed" in this list because of my interest on
the scientific and mathematical approach to it,

Guillermo, in the course of explaining optimum pinhole formulas to Tom
Harvey, said "Since pinhole is not about "sharpness", use any pinhole size
for a particular distance pinhole-film, but I suggest you use what I call
the "scientific formulation" as the starting point from which deviate."
