50mm - 135mm PinZonie Set

50mm base and 90mm Extension Connection

As promised the second installment of the PinZonie System. Featured today… the 50mm, 75mm, 90mm and 135mm set for the M Mount. The turret has 4 positions that can be changed to your shooting style. For example, if you shoot mainly with the 50mm and 90mm you could set a pinhole and zone plate for each or a pinhole or zone plate for 50-135mm … the choice is yours! The base is a 50mm which is added too with extensions to achieve longer focal lengths out to 135mm. This setup allows for quick changes and also many creative possibilities. Again, the 28mm and the 35mm are stand alone units.

The next post will be in 7 days on June 29th where I will showcase additional features as well as more images. Stay tuned!

Leica M7 with 28mm PinZonie

The PinZonie is a modern interpretation of  historic imaging solutions: the Pinhole and Zone Plate. An exciting collaborative project between Matt Abelson of Abelson Scope Works and Stephen Schaub of the Figital Revolution, the PinZonie is a must-have creative tool for the alt-process photographer. The PinZonie will fit all Leica M Mount Cameras to include: All Leica M Cameras, the new Zeiss Ikon, Voigtlander Bessa Cameras with M mount, Epson RD-1, Minolta CLE,  and the new Panasonic Micro 4/3 system with adapter. In all this new system will fit over 33 different cameras! The PinZonie System is an open design: each aperture (2 on the 28mm example above) can be changed at any time from a pinhole of different sizes— to affect image quality— to zone plate, photon sieve or a slit, the choice is yours. The PinZonie will be available in a range of focal lengths; more info to follow soon. Each PinZonie is hand-made in the USA.

The next post with additional information and pictures will be made in 6 days on June 22nd, 2009… stay tuned!!
