This is true. Worst case scenerio I'm out a body cap. Near as I can
tell a #13 sewing needle is about what I need for the pinhole. I'm
noticing a lot of descrepencies as to what various different sites say
is the ideal pinhole size for a given focal length. I'm guessing that
it's based on circle of confusion calculations? Unfortunately, the
sites I've been on don't indicate what their basing their
recommendations on so it's hard to compare.
