After these experiences I lost the pleasure to make more with pinholes.
But some days ago I found at Ebay a Zeiss Ikon Contina Ia (type 526/24) without lens and shutter, it was just the camera body and the old leather bag.

Because of this the camera was very cheap and instantly when I saw it I had the idea to make a pinhole camera out of it. Therefore I bought it.
The Contina arrived today and I attached an old 48mm Rollei lens cap to the camera. The lens cap perfectly matched. After this I measured the focal length, which is 45mm and used the pinhole size calculator to determine the diameter of the hole. Then I made with a needle a tiny hole in the middle of the lens cap.
Focal length: 45mm
Diameter: 0.283mm
fStop: 159
Image circle: 86,4mm
I hope I can soon show photos taken with this new DIY pinhole camera.
