<excerpt>An article in a recent issue of <bold>Popular
Photography</bold> (August 1996, p. 9),
advertises a "new" product for pinhole photographer: a pinole mount for
Leica M rangefinders. But this article only served to remind me that I
have forgotten to include the address of an individual that has been
supplying a similar product for years. Both will run you almost three
hundred dollars, so you have to decide if it isn't better to just get
another body cap and put a pinhole on it, but hey, you're putting a
pinhole on your M6, so it might as well be the best, right? Here then
is
the information for both companies:
Lensless Leica. Manufactures pinhole holders for Leica M and screwmount
rangefinders. Focal lengths from 12mm to 28mm. <bold>NOTE:</bold> At
12mm with a
.13mm pinhole the effective aperture is f92 - <italic>fast.

Avenon P.H. Air Lens. Manufactured in Japan for Jimmy Koh at Koh's
Camera Sales & Service, Inc. Hicksville, NY. .21mm pinhole, focal
length
not specified, but the angle of view is supposed to match a 28mm lens
so
let's say 28mm. Aperture "somewhere between f125 and f250" - f133.33 if
we use the figures we are given. Still pretty fast.
