Abstract
Polychromatic MTFs based on the work of Hopkins and Sayanagi are developed for a pinhole camera using standard 5500°K daylight and a black and white, and a color reversal film. On and off-axis MTF were developed for the radial and tangential cases. Conclusions are drawn about the depth of focus and "best" focal position. A monochromatic depth of field study was done, showing both the need to focus and the infinite character of the pinhole camera.
