Modern lenses are complicated to engineer, but offer amazing precision. The Pinhole Pro Max doesn’t sacrifice both to offer dreamy-looking footage no other lenses can provide.
Pinhole lenses are nothing new. The concept has been around longer than some religions, with the first known description surfacing between 1011 and 1021 AD from mathematician Hasan Ibn al-Haytham.
Fast forward through the next few thousand years, and you can see the lens concept used in many early cameras. Even to this day, several lens manufacturers have released pinhole lenses for modern cameras. This includes companies like Lensbaby, SLR Magic, and Zero Optik.
Then there’s Thingyfy, which has been making pinhole lenses since 2016. We covered its Pinhole Pro lens when it was first announced and now it has a modern update for filmmakers chasing that dreamy vintage aesthetic.
The Pinhole Pro Max
The new lens from Thingyfy is alleged to be the world’s first pinhole lens that combines six apertures and variable focal lengths into one lightweight and durable lens design.
