I know, the same is in my language Spanish, Estenopo is the pinhole and
Estenopeica is the photography type. The same is in English, BTW,
Estenopeic cameras, for instance. The fact of the matter is that unless you
are greek or versed in greek language, those words tell nothing to the
majority of people, that was my point. A simple word like "pinhole" is more
descriptive, unfortunately, when translated in a literal way to Spanish, at
least, it doesn't reallyt makes sense. Anyway, it really is not a big deal.
