Have fun!
BTW - love the above shot!
body cap, pinhole and camera body. But you already knew that didn't you? 😕
quite easy to make from a spare body cap and a coke can or just buy one ready made on ebay.
that shot looks remarkably sharp for a 4 second exposure.
the above picture makes the lass look like a dwarf.
so just the body cap, not the lens, ahhh!
I expect the sensor in anything but a medium format digital camera will be too small. I'm sure I read that the "pixels" on the sensor don't work at very high f numbers.
Cardboard box, tin foil and some proper B&W paper is the way to do it.
body cap pin holes work fine on digital slrs. they ususlly work out simular to a 50mm ish lense . I have made loads.

the pinhole is made in a small square of coke can and taped over a hole in the body cap. use a manual setting for the shutter/iso

ever tried using a flatbed scanner for taking images ? Great for small items , gives a shallow depth of field too.[url] http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-use-your-flatbed-scanner-as-digital-camera [/url]
