Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S review by Marc Alhadeff

Share

Marc Alhadeff tested the Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S you can buy on BHphoto:

For 80 euros the Thingyfy Pinhole pro S give a wide angle pinhole that delivers consistent and decent results

By design , there is no focusing and depth of field is infinite , you just need to take care of framing, but this is not so obvious as with a tiny hole the F stop si extremely small (F73) and there is not a lot of light hitting the sensor

Using it is quite fun and you can produce very old school vintage photo. Both colors and Black and white works nicely

With the extremely low aperture linked to a 0.14mm hole (= F73) you need a lot of sun to shoot handled and ISO is going high to extremely high and speed quite low (Sony SteadyShot stabilization will help here)

Shooting on tripod with long exposure can also be a solution

For the usage on the field , with standard settings, the visor will be often very dark and you should assign the “Bright Monitoring” function to one custom button to be able to frame and shoot at ease. This one will boost your screen and allow to “see in the dark”

It is recommended to add a protection filter on the pinhole thanks to the filter thread , this will avoid some dust hit the sensor through the hole

Reminder:
