Last summer I saw an article in the Seattle Times about a photographer named Roseanne Olson who takes pinhole photographs on Polaroid 55 film. Although I have not yet used this film myself, it was seeing these photographs that impelled me to take up pinhole photography. You can read the article

I used this film frequently with my 4X5 camera, but have never used it for pinhole applications. It is quit slow (ISO 50) which could make for some pretty long exposures. It is a wonderful film for enlarging, plus you have the advantage of seeing your results within a minute. Randy --- Stom
