Gord - It also probably has a fair amount to do with the developer. Many developers of this type will result in a lessened film speed. It's just the cost of doing business. Cheers - george --- Gordon J. Holtslander hol...@duke.usask.ca wrote: Hi: It seems that rating the film at 1

Hi: It seems that rating the film at 1 ASA compensates for reciprocity. I'm not sure of the F-stop of the 12x18- its not my camera. We usually get a good estimate of the pinhole diamter using a loup and a fine ruler graduated in .5 mm From that we calculate the f-stop based on the focal

I use LC-1 and ortho film too. Its very good. However it is slow. An ASA of 1. I've used a 12 X 18 camera. It ended up having an f stop in the range 0f 300. This translates to an exposure of an hour on a bright sunny day for one picture. How does that work? For a sunny day exposure with

If you use lith developer, you will get only blacks and whites. If you use dektol1:2 you will get some shades of grey. It's easy to try other film or paper developers since you can develop by inspection, just deelop until it stops changing. I think you'll get more pleasing results using Dektol.

Hi: Depends on what you want to do. One of the standard kodak ortho developers in called fineline - mixed as two stock solutions which are combined prior to development. This gives a high contrast negative The developer should give some info on effective film speeds, depends on the light
