Hi all-

If you really want a pinhole lens, try the A. J. Fricko Company  They make a
special pinhole lens with a "colens" over it to help focus the light.  It's
available for Olympus, and a bunch of other slr bodies.  Only $169.95 plus
shipping.

It looks like the lens is built onto a body cap.  The pinhole is photo etched
to 0.018 inch diameter in stainless steel.  Approximately f/105.  Yes, that's
one hundred and five.  Type 2 and Beattie screens may be a little dark.

They have an answering machine at (513)-421-4288, fax at (513)-421-4588, and
email address ajfricko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Snail mail address Andrew J. Fricko Co
PO Box 43276
Cincinnati, OH, 45243.

I don't have one, but have seen some pictures made by one.  They looked very
nice.
