Although the packaged chemicals might not be around, the individual chemicals will be. Just mix your ownif you're here 50 years from now. Ed On Thu, 2 Aug 2001, HypoBob wrote: > > > > Guillermo, > > You have the kind of wonderfully twisted mind that is an asset in pinhole > photograhpy. Ho

In 1953 I made a pinhole exposure with one of the Kodak cardboard kit pinhole cameras, of my father standing at the base of the American Niagra Falls. I believe it was a 10 second exposure on 3 1/4x 4 1/4 Kodak Super Panchro Press Type B film. I kept the camera, with that film, in a dark place sinc

Dennis, I have wrestled with this problem in the past. Last summer my wife dragged me off on an Alaskan cruise, and I took about a dozen pinhole panoramics on Ilford MGIV RC paper. It was nearly a week before I developed them (in Dektol) and they all came out nearly black -- the only negative

All this "talk" makes me want to expose some B&W film, leave it in the pinhole camera and store it away in my crawling space, which happens to be dark, dry and cool. I'd also add some information about the pinhole "technology". Hopefully some descendant of mine would find the film after I am g

I had good luck earlier this year using 4x5 Portra 160 NC and also 4x5 Portra 100T using an 85B filter (after getting good advice from list members on the topic). A Kodak help-line technician (who is also a pinholer) told me that Portra daylight film (and I honestly can't remember if he said 160 o

Does Portra come in 4x5. It has good reciprocity characteristics. Color slide film, I'm told, is near impossible for pinhole because of narrow exposure latitude. - Original Message - From: Jeff Dilcher To: Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 12:49 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Help Me Pick

Can anyone suggest a good color negative film for me? I will be shooting 4x5 and processing c-41. Since it is pinhole we are dealing with, a film with low reciprocity failure and not to significant color shift when taking long exposures would be a plus. I am primarily shooting outdoors. I have
