For close up work just multiply your optimum pinhole size, obtained with any
of the formulas available out there, by the "correction factor":

Correction factor = SQRT ( O / I + O )

where O = distance pinhole lens to object being photographed
and I = distance pinhole lens to film
SQRT stands for square root of
