Here's a source of pinholes: http://www.pinholeformat.com/
holes.html. I bought a set in 1997 and attached one of them to a
body cap for my Elan II (These appear to be brass, mine were monel).
Size does matter, but I forget which one works for the film/cap
distance and it's important to coat the inside black. I didn't spend
a lot of time fooling with them. I think I shot only one roll. I
had our machinist drill a 1/4" hole in the center of a body cap. The
taped to the outside of the body cap. I've carried it around on
several overseas trips but haven't used it. I don't have it with me
in Carmel now, so I can't try it here. Next time!

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?

I've used a pin-hole body cap on my Fuji S2; haven't tried it on the
D200 yet. The problem for me is that 1.5x crop sensors are far too
small for pinhole use; I want 4x5. I should do it -- putting a small
hole in a lens board isn't that hard.
