Pinhole photography in the foggy Allgäu highlands

An einem nebligen Wintertag denkt man nicht unbedigt an einen Spaziergang über die Wiesen der Allgäuer Alm. Trotzdem hatten wir Spaß beim Fotografieren mit der digitalen Sony Nex und Skink Pinhole Pancake als Lochkameralinse. 
Sogar die neugieren Llamas machten mit und ließen sich geduldig ablichten.

On a foggy winter day, not many people would think of going out for a walk through the Allgäu highlands. Nevertheless we enjoyed taking some pinhole photos using a Sony Nex digital camera with a Skink Pinhole Pancake attached. Even the curious llamas co-operated and patiently posed for some more pictures.

  • Camera: Sony NEX 5
  • Lens: Skink Pinhole Pancake with 0.3mm pinhole
  • Focal length: 45mm (with basic extension ring attached)
  • Angle of view: normal

Skink Pinhole Pancake for Leica M with 100° angle of view is out ...

Finally, the Skink Pinhole Pancake with 100° angle of view is now available for Leica M cameras.
With a focal length of 18mm the resulting angle of view of 100° corresponds to that of a Super Elmar lens. 
Unlike, when using glass lenses, light meets the film surface or camera sensor in a pure unmanipulated way when it travels through a pinhole. 
The pinhole pancake lens is totally flat and the camera can be carried in a pocket!

The Pro Kit includes a 0.190mm precision pinhole, a zone plate and a zone sieve.

Skink Pinhole Pancake: painting on a digital canvas with a zone plate

yes, a film-based zone plate can be mounted instead of a lens. Here it is used to paint on the digital canvas of a Sony NEX 5. 
Playing with colors and light in a green house, creating painterly effects, it's fun! 

Camera: Sony NEX 5
Lens: Skink Pinhole Pancake with zone plate "medium glow"
