I just got a a zone plate made out of a body cap for my Oly E-410. First shot, nothing fancy, but this concept is so cool! Something primitive about it. In fact, I am just amazed at the result without any fancy glass on my camera. No doubt a number of you have discovered zoneplates and pinholes, but its kind of a thrill for me. This could be fun...

I'm in the discovery stages of this myself. Pinhole especially, but I want to do it with film first. Maybe I'm crazy. Apparently you can make pinhole cameras with Altoids cans. I have a bag of them at work. Itching to try it.

If Lensbaby is your thing, check out the optics kit which has pinhole, zone plate and plastic optics.

Friday night and I'm playing with my zone plate. Kids are out and it's quiet. Nice! Anyway, I'm still taken with the idea of photography without a lens.

I see you're an Olympus user. Where'd you get your zone plate? Do you have a pinhole?
