A camera fitted with a well-machined pinhole is a lot more convenient to
use than an oatmeal box. I didn't buy my Leica for pinhole photography, but
I would like to able to shoot part of a roll of pinhole images with it
rather than haul a second device around with me for that purpose.

Back to the point: If you're interested in fitting a Leica rangefinder with
a well-made pinhole or know of a source of parts or solutions please chime
in.
