- 0.7mm pinhole. A little oversized for this focal length.
- Ceramic coffee mug.
- Salvaged T-mount.
- T-mount to Canon EF adapter.
- Filled full of J-B Kwik epoxy.
- An old Russian 66mm filter with the glass removed makes a handy mount for interchangeable pinholes.
- Brushed steel pinhole stock scavenged from the bottom of a can of nuts.
- Still need to flock the inside. So so shiny.
- Inside has been flocked. So, so much better.

how'd u get rid of the bottom of ur mug without cracking it?
paradefotos (41 months ago | reply)
I drilled it out with a bit for ceramic tile, and then smoothed it with a dremel tool with a grinding wheel.
