But a well made pinhole can produce a very nice image, and I would prefer
a good pinhole image to a "crummy" lens image, as long as I could work
within the limitations. But that's just one of my preferences again... :-)
Mind you, I like to use pinholes to do what you can't with conventional
cameras, like very wide angles - at least without costing the earth; I
have a 6x12cm rollfilm camera which didn't cost me 2000 pounds! I have
thought of pinhole stereo, but not done anything about it yet. Later...

BTW Boris, you'd better be quick with that computer image you mentioned: I
will unsubscribe from the list for a while, next Tuesday, before leaving
the UK (and therefore my employer's PC). Soon as I can, I'll get back on
line, from Down Under.
