The Burley Cameras Copal 0 Pinhole Holder. The artistic qualities of pinhole. The convenience of a lens. The comfort of your current camera system. The freedom from the weight of a dedicated pinhole camera. Designed for Copal 0 sized lens board holes (using included Copal 0 retaining ring). Anywhere you have, or can make, a 34.6-35.0mm Copal 0 hole you can put the pinhole holder.

Included in this set; Burley Cameras Pinhole Holder with retaining ring, Copal 0 retaining ring, lens hood, lens cap x2, rear cap, washer, storage tin. Pinholes are available separately (see below and drop down menu).

The anodised aluminium holder accepts mounted or unmounted pinholes with a diameter of 25mm or 1” and a thickness up to ~2.6mm. For pinhole foils or thin mounts 1mm or less a washer is included.

I am very happy to stock the excellent value mounted pinholes made by Eastern Camera and Optical Supply in the USA. You can also order direct from them on Ebay. High quality pinholes can also be bought from; Thorlabs, Edmund Optics, Knight Optical, Ealing, and others. You can of course also make your own pinhole foils on card or metal discs. 

You can quickly and easily switch out the pinhole using a standard shutter spanner tool (usually without needing to remove the holder from the lens board). You can change it for whichever format or focal length you will use at that moment.

The Burley Cameras Pinhole Holder has a 37mm accessory screw thread for the mounting of a lens hood (included), a cap (included), filters, etc. 

The Burley Cameras pinhole holder is designed to allow a very wide angle of view of approximately 130 degrees (assuming average design mounted pinhole, or foil held flat in by the washer). The actual angle of view possible will depend on pinhole design, mount design, etc. The supplied wide angle lens hood allows wide angle of views to around 100 degrees ideal for almost all situations.
