The great thing is that if you use a bit less tape- keep the screw thread free of tape- you can remove the pinhole and screw the lens back on mid roll. You can even use the pinhole and lens together (sharper than just a pinhole, but you get a bit of tunnel vignetting.) My pinhole was 0.3 mm - to me 0.75 mm seems a bit big. I’ve tried this.

I can't wait to see if Andrew's shots with a pin hole camera gives better results than with his Holga! Good old fashioned experimenting (as taught by Blue Peter).

I adapted an old box brownie that took 120roll, knocked the lens out and used the bulb shutter that the camera had. I tried a range of exposures from 1 sec to 20 secs but think that the hole being to big and the dodgy light leaks contributed. Got a few more ideas now that ive made the pinhole so hopefully with a bit more experimentation il get something worth using. TC all. Hey,

I've got a bad feeling about mine, the theory is sound, but 1-2 second exposures doesn't seem long enough to get all the needed light in from such a small hole! Will wait and find out... oh no! were they all underexposed/overexposed?
