"Cameras have gotten pretty darn complex these days what with their deluxe panoramic stitching functions and all.
But before we even start trying to figure out the inner-workings of such technologically advanced picture-makers, we remind ourselves that all we really need is one simple equation.
Hole + box = photo. Sure, oatmeal boxes make great pinhole cameras, but there’s another way!: the SLR Pinhole Body Cap, the most simple yet revolutionary way to get that beautifully lo-fi pinhole look.
Slap this no-dust cap onto your Canon EOS or any Nikon DSLR (works on film SLRs also; no adapters needed!) and shoot through a most precisely made and perfectly round pinhole."
l'd just make my own, but remember that, due to the digital sensor design, anything from about f/11 (wider for APS-C cameras) onwards, your image is going to get really soft. Pinholes tend to work better with film. Not that it can't be fun with digital.
yeah, $50 is kind of expensive. But ok, suppose I bite? They still charge shipping!
To answer the question, I've never tried this on my DSLR. I have some old body caps from some old cameras. Keeping the dust out might be an issue. Thanks for sharing the link.
