Indoors they ranged from half a minute to half an hour. Outside it was around a second. You are correct that DOF is very very large with a pinhole...but sharpness is a fluid concept here when there's no lens involved. Especially because my unlenses were also uncoated...not very flare-resistant at all. I put a link to the original design on my page here: http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/PinholeMatchbox/2005_02_19_PM01_PM02/index.html The link takes you here: http://www.blog.co.uk/index.php/alspix/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole%7E428481 The Pintoids Sonny pointed out are very cool...I find them extremely appealing and some of the photos are fantastic, but I was put off by the single shot nature of those cameras...I wanted the convenience of roll film. Laziness wins again. Best, Aaron >Ok, I'll admit - I'm super impressed. The technology of recording >images is just amazing!
