“…Pinholes suitable for such optical applications are very easily etched 2 or made with a punch 4 or hand sewing needle. For another purpose, I once made a precision array of 25-sum pinholes in thin brass shim stock by putting a needle in a milling machine and using the feeds on the machine to position the brass and to punch the holes against a freshly faced-off block of lead.…”

The pinhole camera may often be overlooked because of its apparent simplicity. However, it is a useful and practical device which offers freedom from distortion and virtually infinite depth of field. Its astigmatism can be corrected by proper choice of aperture, and its angular field can be made to exceed 90 degrees . With modern light sources, films, and detectors, even the pinhole's low aperture need not be an important limitation.
