Digital Pinhole Camera Body Cap

[68lbs]

Has anyone on here tried one of these...

FleBay Linky

...or made their own?

Thoughts? Sample pics? Worth a play?

It's not a lens cap, it's a body cap I think. I made one for 35mm film years back, it worked fairly well, seems a lot for what it is. Wayne

Ah... that was another question... whether it was possible to get a plastic lens for the Holga look. I guess this is such a thing?

No, the Loreo is just an adjustable pinhole, for the Holga look you need clicky

I've got an old Kodak DC240 (1.4mb) that produces similar shots and that's in the loft somewhere - not sure why I'd want to do that with my DSLR

I don't mind at all. If you want to see some pinhole pics seek out a guy called Steve Gosling!

I made my own using a T2 mount, a baked bean tin, a washer and a coke can. The instructions were in AP magazine.

Not a great success then?

Do you think this is down to it being digital? Or because it was just a DIY job?

I made the hole too big and my choice of subject wasn't exactly ideal. I've seen some great pinhole work on digital so I don't think that's an issue, however it was excellent at highlighting any dust on the camera sensor. It was loads of fun though and I do mean to create a new hole when I get a minute. Also, there a no rules with kind of work, just do what you want.
