Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid P/N film

many folks believe
 Polaroid P/N Type 55  film is the type that you must expose for either
the
 negative or the print. It is an either or proposition

This is not always the case!
When the lighting is lower in contrast you can expose for a good print and
get a good negative at the same time because the tonal range of the subject
is compressed and fits the range of the negative nicely.

You can increase the negative contrast with Selenium toner if you like.

Try it!

Stom,

Polaroid P/N Type 55  film is the type that you must expose for either the 
negative or the print. It is an either or proposition.  

The Polaroid P/N pack film (the number of which I can't remember) is not an 
either or proposition.  The print and negative will match.

 I have used the Ilfochrome in my 8x10 pinhole camera. It has been a

 POP paper works wonders and it's easier if you have access to the
 costly machine that develops this.


I am mainly using an 8x10 pinhole camera and often wondered whether
there was a b/w instant material for that size? Polaroid doesn't seem to
produce it larger than 4x5.

Rosanne, what is that POP paper you referring to? What costly machine?
