Hi Glenn,
This web page has a pinhole f/stop calculator:
http://www.mrpinhole.com/
I saw some photos with 3 pinholes on some webpage, they were very
unique, I liked them.
Taking pics in low light with an LX on auto would be
quite a test for the metering. I think try that, probably run into serious
reciprocity (spent time looking how to spell that) failure, but it could
be a new art form ;)
