The new TRIBE7 OBSCURA37 is a 37mm pinhole PL mount lens. It is said to be made using the best available materials and production processes, combined with a PL mount port cap. TRIBE7 describes it as a revival in pinhole camera imaging aesthetics.
With recent advancements in modern sensor and in-camera processing technologies, EI sensitivities well over EI 10,000 allow real-time motion picture capture of pinhole images with the OBSCURA37, from Super 16 to Medium format. The F-stop equivalent of the lens is F/133, so you are going to need a high ISO and a lot of light to use it.
Above, you can see example still images photographed by co-founder Bradford Young ASC, shot on the Leica M11 monochrome. There is also a motion picture short shot in Sardinia by Diana Olifirova on the FX3.
