digital pinhole film pinhole

 the calculations

f = focal length (distance from the film/sensor to the pinhole)

d = diameter of the pinhole

l = wavelength of light. (use 0.00055 mm for yellow/green light)

formula for focal length/diameter:

d = 1.9 f x l

formula for F number:

F number = f/d
my sweetshopbox pinhole camera specifications:

f = 45 mm

d = 0.3 mm

f number = 150
