pinhole photography

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Large format photography : One Thread

I wish to convert Sinar P2 view camera into a pinhole camera, either for 4x5 or 8x10, any suggestions, something to fit in front of my copal shutter instead of the normal lens panel.

You shouldn't need a copal shutter at all. A piece of really thin aluminum, drilled with the pinhole size you are looking for and taped to a lensboard is about as complicated as you need to get. A Sinar P2 turned into a pinhole camera? Doesn't kind of defeat both ideas at the same time?
