SLR Magic Pin Hole Lens for Micro Four Third Mount Cameras

2014-03-12T21:00:00

This is a very good pin hole lens: it is durable and easy to mount. The 52mm filter thread on the front means that you can put a lens shade on it, which is a great feature. Pin holes have infinite depth of field. There is no lens, so the color and contrast are unusually strong and saturated. The lens is likely to make a vignetted, somewhat fuzzy picture on your camera (depending on the imager size), which has a cool, lo-tech look. Be aware: pin holes requires a *lot* of light. The aperture size is f/128. On a video camera, this means a high ISO setting. I shoot on my Panasonic AF100 video camera in bright sunlight with high ISO settings. The image looks wonderfully degraded, with rich colors and contrast. This is exactly what I bought the lens for.
