thanks to Louie (and the wonders of wordpress randomly generated links)  I also found this very very useful article by Williamo on making a pinhole lens for slr cameras:

i’m planning to use pinhole (definitely 35mm, possibly black and white) for the newington green project so if i manage to achieve a similar intensity i’ll be really pleased.
