earleygallery Posted July 9, 2009 Share #21 Posted July 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm surprised at how blurry those photos are, I have tried pinhole photography recently with a Pinhole Blender 120 camera and acheived pretty sharp results (photos on my website). I missed world pinhole day this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted July 9, 2009 Share #22 Posted July 9, 2009 I'm surprised at how blurry those photos are, I have tried pinhole photography recently with a Pinhole Blender 120 camera and acheived pretty sharp results (photos on my website). I missed world pinhole day this year I felt the same, James, (although I accept that that may be bhomatude's desired look). Is it the diameter of the pinhole that most affects the blurriness of the picture? Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhomatude Posted July 9, 2009 Share #23 Posted July 9, 2009 Note that these are Zone plate photos - not Pinhole. Depending on the number of zones (this plate has 11 zones) different wave lengths of light become more prominent. I tend to like the extreme diffuse nature of zone plate photography when coupled with a digital camera such as the M8. Pinhole photos with the M8 are too sharp for my taste. Note that you can mount a pinhole or a zone plate in the skink. Attached is an approximate rendition of this particular zone plate: Welcome, dear visitor!

earleygallery Posted July 9, 2009 Share #24 Posted July 9, 2009 I see, interesting effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted July 10, 2009 Share #25 Posted July 10, 2009 I received the Skink pinhole/zone plate adapter with a 24mm f46 zone plate. Here are a couple of first test shots. I know we're all meant to say how everything is excellent, but those are terrible, they look like they were taken in a sauna. I guess you could get a similar effect by breathing onto the front element of a lens before taking a photograph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhoersch Posted July 10, 2009 Share #27 Posted July 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) You just know that the Leica hole is going to be of much higher quality than any other hole! I want Safari Edition with a green hole! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyIII Posted July 10, 2009 Share #28 Posted July 10, 2009 Do the Leicagoodies SPINS have a piece of neutral glass or something to keep dust from entering through the hole, or are they open? Rocky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhusick Posted July 11, 2009 Share #29 Posted July 11, 2009 Okay, but now you need a Leica UV/IR filter for your pinhole! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lea Posted July 14, 2009 Share #30 Posted July 14, 2009 Bought the Skink in stainless steel (can't run to the titanium version). Looking forward to trying it. Peter Lea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJP Posted July 14, 2009 Share #31 Posted July 14, 2009 I have been trawling the web about zone plates. Very intersting! Has anyone tried making their own? See here for example: Whiz Kid Technomagic Zone Plate Designer Direct printing to a transparency should be the most convenient but appears to be challenging in terms of required dpi resolution.
