Jack, these are too cool! What did you do, take a body cap and drill an 1/8 hole in it?
Thanks Ed!

I bought a set of laser-drilled stainless-steel pinhole apertures off eBay for $25. I then drilled a 1/2" hole in the center of a body cap, cut a small hole in a piece of gaffer tape, stuck the pinhole on the gaffer and then taped it to the inside of the body cap. The focal from that is about 75mm, and since the desired aperture is around f180, you need an aperture hole diameter of about .016" (.417mm) -- that small is hard to make accurately without special tools and why I bought the laser set...

Cheers,

Just picked my wife up from the airport first time I seen her since I left and just showed her some of these images and the rest on the Salton Sea thread. Her jaw is on the floor, which knowing my wife a very critical eye on photography means we nailed it folks. Kudo's to the workshop attendees.

I'm testing the H3D2 50. I'm very impressed, I must say.

Here is a good example of the soft and natural color from Phocus (with 100 % crop at right)
