So let me get this straight...

If I buy/make a pinhole body cap for my 35mm camera, the image won't cover the film? How small an area are we talking about? Or am I wrong?

Thanks,

Mark

My finney pinhole body cap covers the film frame on my Minolta MD series camera.

Whew, thanks Vic! Now if they'd just get them back in stock.

Dumb question: Are you able to use the TTL meter with that pinhole cap?

i use my ttl metering on my me super ( and k1000 ) with my laser hole -- works great!

My Nikon pinhole body cap covers at full 35 mm frame.

Yes the TTL seems to work fine and I also use the chart that came with the 'lens'. And I bracket-isn't that what 35mm is for?

Usually covers 3.5 x's focal length.
