George I don't often have anything new or original to contribute to the discussion (and after this post the consensus will probably be 'just as well') but I can confirm that pinpoint pupils (eg from narcotic analgesia) are commonly about one millimetre in diameter, average pupil size is 2-3 mm

Here is some information I have. How it applies I'm not sure. The eye is only the aperture, lens and sensing apparatus. Because the eye is attached to the brain it would make more sense to use a digital camera as a model rather than film camera. The mind can read an image and give a response in as
