Dutch Newchurch

The phrase 'pinhole lens' has been used in photography for long enough that there should be no confusion. Strictly speaking, I suppose it should be a 'pinhole camera', but that would allow other pedants to argue that there are no digital pinhole cameras.
The essence of the challenge is that the image must have been formed with a pinhole, and not with transparent refracting materials.
