| Sep 20, 2017 at 16:12 | comment | added | Stan | That's easy. The image that you show from Google above is not a pinhole lens image. The link shows a lot of them that are though. The images on the link are shown uncropped and small so they appear much sharper than they would appear at sizes you show yours. Your results are comparable to my experiences with several different experiments. | |

| Sep 20, 2017 at 14:55 | comment | added | user151841 | @MichaelClark The diameter of the pinhole is 0.22 mm. I posted one of my test photos. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 14:52 | comment | added | user151841 | @Stan I've posted a sample from my test series. | |

| Sep 20, 2017 at 4:19 | comment | added | Michael C | Can you post an example? What is the diameter of the pinhole? Some diffraction is to be expected with pinholes, but without seeing what you got it is hard for us to answer what went wrong. | |
