Karl, you make wonder if anyone has used a dSLR body to produce a pin
hole lens. Using a black tube, taped to the body, or a lens cap (hmm)
with the end replaced by with Al foil and a tiny hole.
So I googled it and yes they have. So who needs EOS or Nikkor lenses?

Looks like fun! But I'd be very concerned about dust.
(I did this once with a Canon AE-1 body, and with a Mamiya 645 but never
followed those through.)
