Then look to the f/stop aperture you entered when accessing the chart.Look at the exposure for f/16 and then find the time the Light Meter app suggested for f16.Enter the f/stop for the PinBox aperture you chose (not f16).Set your ISO, set the meter to "R", compose in the window, and read the result at f16.

I suggest using the "light meter" app by David Quiles (available for free or paid on the App Store and Google Play- Not Sponsored) for metering the scene. The above information is simplified quite a bit and takes into account film reciprocity. General Purpose Exposures in 20 seconds + Instead, just pick a pinhole based on the following information. Although I could have chosen specific apertures for specific focal lengths, it would have been difficult to try and predict what you will do with PinBox sometime in the future. One last note on this process, I also expect you to use the pinholes in many different creations. So, my suggestions in the above video and down below are based on my observations and experiences when testing PinBox. I also found that 150 microns was awesome too. The closest aperture I offer to that is 250 microns. The sharpest pinhole aperture for PinBox would be 231 microns. This is because it simply doesn't matter for our purposes. I didn't concern myself with all of this when I chose the specific apertures offered for PinBox. This gets into a lot of math about the image circle created at a specific distance, how off axis light enters the pinhole to create blurriness, and so on. Pinholes have a relative sharpness compared to one another when used at different focal lengths. Now a word about pinhole apertures and focal length. This method also allows for much smaller apertures than others. The remaining disk is a perfect pinhole that has no burrs on the pinhole edges and is ready for use. Once it eats through the metal to the other side It drops off due to a very slight negative pressure air flow. This is because surface tension on the acid micro drop pulls the edges into a circle. The acid etching process insures that the pinhole is perfectly round. All pinholes for PinBox are precision acid etched on stainless steel, Generally 302 B, but sometimes others.I considered laser drilling but decided that for PinBox, I wanted something else. Also, even with the most advanced lasers, some parts of the beam can be slightly more intense than others, and therefore create a slightly distorted pinhole. Lasers are light and as such, aligning the laser to the substrate for drilling is a very complicated process. However, with lasers, there is a draw back as well. This is a good choice for scientific and industrial applications. Lasers have the ability to drill very precise pinholes at extremely small apertures. Moving up the ladder once again one will discover laser drilling.This is not how PinBox pinholes are made. If you were to buy a micro drill set you would typically spend more on the set than a retail pinhole. They are a big step up from a needle, but produce burrs on the substrate, require a lot of set up, and the tools aren't something that most people would have lying around. These super small drill bits have the ability to drill very small pinholes, much smaller than a needle, but nowhere near as small as a laser or acid etching. Stepping up from aluminum cans and sewing needles one will discover micro drill sets.Consider this a "creative" or "artistic" pinhole. This involves using a piece of metal, poking a hole through it with a sewing needle, and then sanding the metal flat and smooth.
Most people are familiar with home-made pinholes. The more accurate and precise, the better the image the pinhole will produce.
For example, a laser drilled pinhole can cost upwards of $30 each from Thor Labs, and that doesn't include shipping. This is very important because it's hard to come by quality precision pinholes without spending a mint (at least in the USA). I am very pleased to announce that as part of the campaign promise YOU will have the choice of your favorite pinhole. Let's talk about choosing an aperture for PinBox.
