A pinhole enlarger (exposure will be LONG, possibly days) won't be sharp like you'd probably want for line art.

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 06:16:40 +0000 http://photondetector.com/blog/2007/01/23/perfect-pinholes-zone-plates/#comment-14297 Just wondering if I clearly understood the facts: 1. with a 'Lino'film output I'll get test strips. 2. The strip should be used to determine right exposure time. My question is if this can be used to magnify the image as I'd do it with a graphic camera and if I can use pinhole to get lineart (no gray shades needed). Formerly I had an offset printshop so curious with non-lens photography At this time I got a bit messed up with the word 'zone plate'. Any good definition out there ? Dan L.

I'll be building a variety of cameras using this method in the coming weeks. I'll post some images as soon as I can. I have not noticed any significant light loss in the past and my pinhole images seem to come out very sharp. Give it a shot (no pun intended). :) Thanks Thanks for the post.
