Der neue Skink Pinhole Pancake “Retro”

Das neue Pancakeobjektiv ist da. - Wir freuen uns, Ihnen den neuen Skink Pinhole Pancake “Retro” vorstellen zu können!

Mit diesem neuen Lochkameravorsatz haben wir Ihre Wünsche berücksichtigt und bieten ergänzend zu der Version “Classic” ein weiteres Pancakeobjektiv an.  Der Skink Pinhole Pancake “Retro” ist aus hochwertigem massivem Aluminium hergestellt und bietet einen präzis gefrästen Bajonetanschluß, passend zu Ihrer Kamera. Im Gegensatz zu sogenannten “Bodycaps” wurden hier keine Plastikteile verarbeitet. Dank des modularen Designs, lassen sich die verschiedenen Lochblenden, Zonenplatten oder Photonensiebe schnell und einfach austauschen.

Das “Starter Kit” kann jederzeit mit zusätzlichen Blenden erweitert werden.

The new Skink Pinhole Pancake “Retro”

The new pancake lens is here. – We are happy to introduce the new Skink Pinhole Pancake “Retro”!

With this pinhole lens we have considered your wishes and introduce in addition to the “classic” version a new model of the pinhole pancake. The Skink Pinhole Pancake “Retro” is made of high quality massive aluminium. It offers a precisely machined bayonet mount to fit your camera. Unlike so-called “Body Caps” there are no plastic parts. Thanks to its modular design, various pinhole apertures, zone plates or zone sieves can easily be swapped with each other. The standard filter thread allows the use of filters, lens cap or lens hood. In the same way as the “classic” version, this pinhole pancake is available in three different configurations, as “Starter Kit”, “Creative Kit” or “Pro Kit”. The “Starter Kit” can be upgraded with additonal apertures at any time.

Sommergewitter

 

Kurz vor einem heftigen Sommergewitter überziehen dunkle Gewitterwolken den Abendhimmel, während die weißen Kumuluswolken im Osten das Licht der untergehenden Sonne reflektieren. Das “zugeschaltete Licht” in Verbindung mit dem Photonensieb reicht aus, um den Baum im Vordergrund nicht als bloße Silhouette im Abendlicht erscheinen zu lassen.

Kamera: Leica Objektiv: Skink Pinhole Pancake mit Photonensieb “Impressionist” f/71 Film: Fuji Superia ISO 100 Belichtungszeit: ca. 3 Sekunden
jurassic moment

jurassic moment

An attempt to create a still life zone plate photo in subdued ambient light – no studio setting. The plastic monsters were sitting on a shelf, poorly lit with light from above. The pinhole equipped Leica opened its shutter for about one minute to rapture the scene. Those are the moments where a wire release cable is really useful.

Camera: Leica M
Lens: Skink Pinhole Pancake with Zone Sieve “Impressionist”

Lotus Pond – Leica pinhole with Ilford SFX 200

The Ilford SFX 200 black and white film with extended red sensitivity up to 740nm is one of the most popular near infrared films. When used without filter it performs like a standard medium speed monochrome film.
If you want to be creative, you must try it with a dark red filter. Blue skies can be rendered black and, depending on the light intensity, vegetation appears almost white.
And yes, it also works with pinhole lenses ! This shot was taken at a lotus pond in bright sunshine.

Camera: Leica type Rangefinder
Lens: Wide Angle Skink Pinhole Pancake
Pinhole: 0.2mm
Film: Ilford SFX200
Filter: IR filter insert for Skink Pinhole Pancake (89B / R72)
Exposure time: approx. 3 seconds at noon
Manipulation: added sepia toning in Photoshop

Hong Kong – Star Ferry (zone plate photo)

2008-09-05-03-09.jpg

On the Star Ferry

there is a 10 minutes’ break between two ferries, just enough time for a nap …

The gate (see left) was kept closed because the boat had not yet arrived and I had to find a way to get camera with tripod through it. To compose the image, the camera was just arranged “level” 30cm high on the ramp. — Extreme lighting conditions make zone plate photography a challenge. Highlights easily get blown out and show a halo-effect, while darker

areas appear sharp and a little under-exposed.

Camera: Leica rangefinder
Film: Fuji superia 100
Zone Plate: Skink Pinhole Pancake with zoneplate – 11 zones, f/46
Exposure time: about 3 seconds
camera mounted on little tripod
