Andy, Clearly, it's not for everyone! I just noticed that photojojo.com sells snap-on pinhole lens caps for Canon or Nikon SLRs. It's actually not a hole but a clear dot in a plastic film they say. I have one I made myself from a Canon EOS body cap and a sheet of monel with a tiny hole drilled in it. I bought a set of pinholes in 1996 and chose one that's near optimum for the sensor plane distance. I don't know how serious dust import might be. It works well. Roger Sent from my iPad.

I could see it that in some cases a string might not work too well - if photographing through a window for instance? ;) > > Andy > > On Jun 3, 2013, at 7:54 PM, Eichhorn, Roger wrote: > >> Anyone thought of a long string attached to a weighted shutter? Pull the string to open it and release the string to close it? Maybe a few pulleys to guide the string properly, if needed. It seems to me that a lot of fancy electronics doesn't fit with the concept of a pinhole camera. >> >> Roger >
