I'm not sure if you're trying to get the same angle of view or the
same reproduction ratio.

The angle (or "field") of view is "the extent of a given scene that is
imaged onto the film or" (taken from the Wikipedia page on the
subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view). I believe that
Pinhole Designer has an angle of view calculator built in
(http://www.pinhole.cz/en/pinholedesigner/).

The reproduction ratio is simply the ratio of the actual size of an
object to the size of the object on the negative. In some book I have
the formulas necessary to compute reproduction ratios, which will in
turn allow you to compute the size of objects on the negative. I can
look them up if you like.
