There's also this guy selling cameras under the name of Noon Pinhole.

Personally, I go for Skink Pinhole (also here) products. They're pre-made discs of whatever size you need, that fit in an M42-threaded disc, which comes with whatever adapter to your camera of choice (I got EF to begin with). There's also an L39 version with no adapter needed, and they do adapters for Copal shutters too.

Zörk also do a pinhole set, it's meant to be mounted on a lens filter thread and act as a tiny aperture. I got a set cheap off fleabay, I'm just mounting mine direct-to-shutter.

Also, does the Travelwide with Pinwide insert count?

Wonderful photographs have been made with some of these. Also Ilford's titan cameras.

I would also encourage anyone interested in pinhole to try building a simple one. It does not need to be complicated or expensive, it is a lot of fun, and there really is a unique kind of satisfaction in using a camera you've made yourself.

These are no pinholes in the common meaning.

They rather are apertures intended to substitute the original one for a smaller one. To yield larger DOF.

Due to its position it likely is to introduce vignetting and also distortion.

The Natasha line of cameas look fantastic. How does one go about purchasing from this guy? Does he not have a proper website?

I've been rather enjoying using one of the new Ondu cameras from Slovenia. I believe they are currently working on some 3D models.

I have a Vermeer 6x18. Nicely made camera, with a hemispheric film plane so the aperture is equidistant from the entire image area, so no light falloff in the corners (which could be significant on a 6x18).

there it is in action, and here is a shot from it:

'
This was two separate 12.5 minute exposures on the same frame, where I moved the camera about 15 feet closer to the subject from the first to the second exposure.

The Woodbläk pinhole, fashioned out of a single solid block of wood. The back is part of that block and reattaches magnetically. The knobs raise and lower with the smoothness of a Leica.

Craftsmanship is outstanding.
