Super interesting results! Really good pinhole quality. I'm drawn to this kind of photography, thanks for the samples.

Many thanks Jussi!
My first pinhole/zone plate experiences and I really love to play with this camera.
I'm also waiting nd filters to help for the sunny days photographing (this pinhole is F/170 and zone plate F/50).

Very nice work indeed. I have always been a bit underwhelmed by most pinhole shots I've seen but these are really good, I like them a lot, particularly the first few architectural shots, they have a certain atmosheric quality to them.

You might have just persuaded me to make a pinhole camera to play with.

Many thanks iangreenhalgh1!

I bought this camera because I just wanted test this kind slow exposure photography possibilities and I was really gladly suprised when I got and saw the first results. It produces very nice pinhole quality and with that replaceable zone plate adapter you can get those kind soft and moody pics with those zone plate glows. I have now also nd4 and nd8 adapters for this, so I have some control for the exposure times with those.

And most of all, I've found that I really like this kind easy going picture taking without any hassle. Very Happy
Just put the camera somewhere. Open the shutter/hole. Wait for a while. Close the sutter.
Put the camera to other spot and take an other one. Very Happy

Few more samples with Fomapan 100.

Pinhole. Exposure time 45sec.


Pinhole. Exposure time 8sec.


Pinhole. Exposure time about 2'.
