I want to experiment with multiple circular random placed pinhole lens. My intention is to build a 120 camera with 1000 mm lens.
I want to drill hundred or more pinhole on to large circular brass thin plate.
How can I decide the plate diameter , lens film distance and the count of pinholes , their diameter and placement.
What is the result of random placement or an regular ?
And how can I be sure every pinhole on large circular plate -15 inches diameter may be -would be effectively cast a image on 120 film 66.
What do you mean with engineer? Are you asking how to make it?
Easy. Create a negative image of it (see attached), print it black-and-white at 50x scale, and then photograph it on high-contrast film at a distance of 50x the focal length. Use the piece of film as your photo-sieve lens.
Random Discrete Fresnel Zone Plate is the above lenses name.
Ralph , I know how to photograph something but I am sure above lens is not engineered for my purpose.
I am asking the formulas for design similar plate for my work.
Random one is for decrease the higher order aberrations. There is no limit at the formulas to keep it for x ray. You enter the wavelenght and it gives the pin sieve.
Ordinary zone plates are the subject for x ray imaging but ordinary cameras uses them also.
I think x ray technology comes from the x ray lab at germany and their problem was not making ordinary camera lenses.
