I have enjoyed using it for years. Thanks, Rick Holmes

I've noticed the same kind of light when pulling the tape off the end of 120 film, it hasn't fogged the film though.

I suspect that this is the same sort of green light one sees when pulling the tape that holds 120 film to the roll off. For some reason, it never seems to affect the film. There's a technical name for it, but I don't know it. Maybe it's something like the green light you can get when biting down on wintergreen lifesavers. - Original Message - From: "Tom Miller" To: Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 11:36 AM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] 1: Is This Nuts? 2: A Plug > Dear List Members, > > 1: I've noticed that when pulling electrician's tape off the roll in > complete darkness there is a small greenish light at the spot where > the tape is pulling off the roll.

Dear List Members, 1: I've noticed that when pulling electrician's tape off the roll in complete darkness there is a small greenish light at the spot where the tape is pulling off the roll. Recently, I made a number of small cameras out of Whitman Sampler tins, which are only slightly bigger than Altoids and hold 2.25 x 3.25 sheet film nicely. I sealed them with black tape to make them light-tight. When taking the tape off of the tin, I saw the same green light. Has anyone else seen this? Am I nuts (not a bad option, really)? Do you think that this small amount of light could fog film if it were within 1/4 inch of the film? I noticed slight fogging on a couple of sheets of film where the last bit of black tape pulls off the tin. 2: Having tried and been frustrated by all of Kodak's Portra films, I decided to try Fuji Reala (based on a recommendation from Dieter Bublitz). I like the Reala 100. For color pinhole photography, it sure has vivid, yet natural, color compared to Portra. The local camera stores told me it is not available in the U.S. in 120, so I've been ordering it from Canada. Tom

Dear Zami, That was my experience too. After using what I thought to be roughly a number 9 needle, the images produced were unfocussed, but were clearer when I held the camera closer to the subject. I subsequently reduced the pin hole size and got better results. By chance, when I converted a Polaroid Square shooter for pin hole, once again I guessed and got the diameter just right. Pure luck I suspect. Regards, Mark
