[LargeFormat] Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Wyndham pinho le camera project

Thu May 2 15:04:01 2002

Why of course, I wouldn't get anything but a multicoated pinhole in this day
and time, but all of the ones I've seen so far are in barrel, so I guess
I'll have to get SKG to fit it with a good, modern, and reliable shutter.
Even better, maybe Mr. Grimes could adapt one of them new-fangled,
autofocus, zoom pinholes the small format folks use...

I trust that precision pinhole will be multicoated for enhanced contrast and
increased lines per millimetre. I am staying out of the market until we have
the chance to get apochromatic pinholes and electronic shutters run off an
alarm clock, but that was only a joke. Philip
