The material needed to make this lens is extremely inexpensive and affordable. In fact, I had heard someone say that this is the cheapest lens available for a SLR camera. I agree, considering that the only material needed is the body cap for a SLR. Some of these caps can be found for a dollar or two dollars in the clearance bin. In fact, that is where I picked up mine. In this article, we will work on a Canon EOS body cap, thereby, creating a Canon EOS Pinhole Lens.

I've been using my Nikons almost daily for most of the past three decades and have never noticed any body cap not fitting. Every Nikon lens made in the past 30 years mounts on every Nikon camera ever made since 1959 (even if all the features might not work), so how in the world could Nikon have incompatible body caps? They all have to be the same, right?

It’s easy to turn a DSLR into a pinhole or zone plate camera! All Nikon models take the same Nikon cap and all of the Canon EOS models take the same EOS cap. If you have a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera, you should use a “No Dust” Pinhole Body Cap or Zone Plate body cap. These are available from Pinhole Resource.

If you lack the skills to make a little hole in a piece of plastic, but somehow still have enough of a brain to have bought a camera and know how to use it, you could buy Photojojo ’s $50 version, made from an actual Canon or Nikon body-cap. This pro-pinhole isnr’t quite as dumb as it seems, but it)’s still a little steep compared to Photojojot’s usually reasonable offerings.
