Photon Sieve versus Pinhole Sieve

 Guillermo Peņate Dec/18/2002

Here are some Images made with a Photon Sieve and Pinhole Sieve, this will allow comparison between these 2 types of lenses.  For more information on Photon and Pinhole Sieves, please refer to my article Photon Sieve Photography PDF version (290Kb) or HTML version .  

I do not think this is a case of whether one technique is better that the other, but rather a matter of finding the right application, scene, light, etc., for each lens.

Following thumbnails of 3 sets of images:
