I'm making mine from tape and a piece of aluminum foil.
Not even gonna waste a body cap. 
Just tape the foil over the lens mount and go for it!

The M Leica is perect for this. Wide angle view that matches the finder, 
36 pictures, shutter speeds - what more could you want for a pinhole 
camera?

And to all you naysayers - I say that the picture that started it all 
here on the LUG is quite a beautiful and expressive piece of work.
