In this video, I explore the Jaggle 5x4 camera pinhole lens board, offering a budget-friendly yet intriguing choice for those passionate about film photography and eager to try their hand at pinhole photography. I'll review its construction, performance, and share my personal experience using it with a 5x4 film camera.

Looks like a good product.

When you say that a 0.4mm pinhole gives a 90mm focal length, and a 0.5mm pinhole gives you a 140mm focal length, I think it would be more accurate to say that those sizes are optimised for a particular focal length - but you can use them with other focal lengths if you are happy with the results.

When I had an Intrepid it came with a 0.5mm pinhole, optimised for 140mm of bellows extension. But I was happy with the results at any bellows extension between 75mm and 150mm. I usually set the bellows to 90mm.

If you do this you have to recalculate the f stop by dividing the bellows extension by the diameter of the pinhole, e.g 90mm / 0.5 = an f stop of 180.
