Hi,
I'm doing a workshop this Sunday and next Thursday at the Chicago
Printmakers Collaborative. If there's anyone on the list that knows a
photo (or other) store in Chicago that has Holgas in stock most of the
time, I'd love to know about it. The CPC is having a hard time tracking
any down.

Another way of masking the pinhole surface is to simply blacken it with a

And the source online that talks about using silver foil and blackening
that with selenium toner always seemed very elegant to me.

I also might be getting a reflection
from my pinhole because I did not want to pant it black, because they say it
will mess up your hole, so this could be a problem. To tried to get around
this problem by using electrical tape to cover as much of the metal I could.
Hi Pete,
What did you think of the framing tecnique?
Fuzzy memory of the frames... somewhat rough metal, with the print
sandwiched between sheets of glass or plexi, no backing sheet... is
that right?

Thanks for the tip, Andy, but I think you are missing my point.
Which is: the 4 x 5 enlargers I've used insist that 4 x 5 is the image
as framed in a negative carrier. Once you get away from the negative
carrier, and try to print the whole negative, you'll find that the

I'll second Len's advice on a used D2 - they may be a bit more
expensive than other used enlargers but it quite possibly is the last
enlarger you will ever buy.
Glad to see this thread; I have an enlarger-related question that I'm
sure can be answered by people on this list.

I've been in touch with a few Bay Area people on this list since I joined
