[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Gibson Bob What ever happened to the 'pin hole' school of model photography?, and what might a digital equivalent be? [/quote] A DSLR with a wide angle lens and a pinhole aperture I guess. I can use my 35mm film camera's 28mm wide angle lens with it's pinhole aperture on my digital camera, but it's nto quite the same. Since the digital camera's imaging sensor is about 60% the size of 35mm film, the digital camera only sees the center 60% of the lens' field of view. This is roughly the view of a 55mm lens, and is not a wide angle view. Wide angle lenses give the best apparent depth of focus. So there isn't any real advantage to using this pinhole lens on the digital. The digital camera's 18-55mm lens at its widest (18mm) gives a view equal to that of a 28mm lens on a film camera, and this is my choice for many of my model photos, using its f/22 aperture.
