After doing large amount of experiments and testing, we work out a zone plate set for different focal length with the very best effect. we chose the very best number of zones to get the best result. With this zone plate set you can take zone plate photo from wide angle to tele photo: 90mm, 135mm, 150mm, 180mm, 240mm and 300mm. This zone plate set is special designed for use with our Copal adaptor, simply cut along the edge of the zone plate and it will automatically be centered in the pocket of the copal adaptor. Of course you can use it with any of your camera.

If you have no idea what is a zone plate, you may visit our Zone Plate section for more information.

The Copal Adaptor shown in this photo is not included!

What is Zone Plate?
" A zone plate diffracts light; consequently zone plates are closely related to pinhole. Zone plates render soft-focus imagery, yet they are not like soft-focus lens imagery, and their look is not at all like pinhole imagery. The beauty within a zone plate image is the recognizable halo or glow that surrounds any strong-contrast edge ..." ~by Eric Renner~

A zone plate consists of a serious of concentric rings, with each ring alternating between transparent and opaque.

A zone plate is different from a pinhole for it renders soft-focus imagery and allows more light to get to the film, i.e. allowing a shorter exposure time. The more the zones in a plate increases the glow effect, and decreases the required shutter speed.

The adapter shown in the picture is not part of the product and will NOT be delivered.
