 A Professional Lens Without Glass: Introducing Pinhole Pro for DSLR and SLR Cameras  Thingyfy Pinhole Pro is an innovative update to DSLR pinhole photography. Pinhole photography has long held a vintage and DIY aesthetic, discounted by many perhaps because of the breakthroughs in optics since its creation. But there is still room for this simple, elegant implementation in contemporary photography. The pinhole lens embodies a foundational concept in photography- the camera obscura. The images it produces are distinct, and unique in nature. With so many options on the market, as well as the ability for anyone to build their own, why do we not see more of this photography in practice?    Pinhole Photography and Cinematography in the Digital Age  What's missing is an innovation in technology to bring the user experience of modern digital cameras to this centuries old technique. Thingyfy Pinhole Pro makes a simple, small change- multiple pinholes, but that change allows for real-time experimentation and manipulation that just doesn't exist in any other model. The unique properties of pinhole photography need to be exposed and played with. New uses discovered. With the products currently available on the market, all one can do is demo the principal at hand.   The aim for the Pinhole Pro is to make an aggressive attempt at re-introducing the viability and opportunity this lens affords to the professional and hobbyistphotographers.    What Can Thingyfy Pinhole Pro Offer?  With Thingyfy Pinhole Pro photographers are able to:  &#149; Learn about camera obscura, photography fundamentals, light travel  &#149; Shoot digital or analogue still photos. get sharp, long exposures using the smallest pinholes being offered in the market  &#149; Shoot video. With medium to high ISO shoot at 30 or 60 FPS using the selection of large video pinholes  &#149; Shoot TimeLapse - authentic, long exposure time-lapse with durational motion blur     How is Pinhole Pro Different from other Pinhole Lens?  Comparing the options of Pinhole Pro and what it offers the photographer, along with the ease of use switching between apertures - this lens brings a precision and quality that no other product currently offers. Combined with the aesthetic appeal of machined all metal components and tactile moving parts, this modern update brings the treasured aesthetic of pinhole photography into the contemporary landscape of new media.  We want to position Pinhole Pro at the intersection of two existing products: the Zero Optik 35mm Pinhole and the Skink Pancake Pinhole. There's currently no other similar lens in the market that can allow users to switch between different apertures and sharpness in a single pinhole lens.

This is my second Thingyfy pinhole lens.  This one allows for a selection of apertures from .1mm to .8mm with .25mm being the sharpest.  The others will create special effects.

If you are new to pinhole, you will need to experiment.  Pinhole produces soft images, but has theoretically unlimited depth of field.

This lens is very well made and the aperture stops are precise.  At reasonable ISO's you will need a tripod.  You may also want neutral density filters to allow for long exposures for low ISO's.

I'm using mine with a Canon EOS 5D MkIV.  You will need to use the live view mode as the viewfinder won't give you a bright enough image.  The in camera metering will not be useful.  An app like Pinhole Assist is very useful.  

You will need to use the rubber cover over the viewfinder to avoid light leaks at long shutter speeds.  This can cause what some reviewer have mistaken for lens flare.

I recommend keeping the sensor as clean as possible.  Any dirt will show up a specks on a pinhole image.

Find some tutorials on pinhole.  It is unlike anything you've done before.  Experiment.

Great way to get into pinhole with a DSLR.

I was totally surprised by the construction when I received this - ALL metal - solidly built - multiple aperture sizes are great, simple to use - and image quality from a pinhole camera is whatever it is - not like it changes from one hole to another.

Solidly built!

This lens has a very professional build quality.  The multi-aperture ring is solidly build and mechanically sturdy.  Very fun lens.
