Hi Andy, I'll get back to you off-list. Yes it could be done over a weekend. The rest depends on how we structure the workshop, given the type of facilities that you have. If you're developing the schedule, I guess this would be a good time to talk. -:) Guy Andy Schmitt wrote: What would it

I've used 4x5,5x7,8x10 without problem. for me the issues were how much could i influence negative contast since I intended to use the negs for contact alternative process prints. Tmax is much the easiest to influence contrast via agitation. don't know anything about xray film. Your task, if you

I used to work in an X-Ray Darkroom, of course I experimented with the film. There is an example of the results I got at: http://www.chucksphotos.com/Gallery_pinhole.html , it's the one labeled 'Coworkers'. I used an Oatmeal box with a pinhole lens and if I remember correctly about a 20

Hi: I remember reading a reference to using x-ray film covered in the pinhole resource. It does work with light. I believe x-ray film is more contrasty than regular film. I think a lower contrast developer is suggested. Selectol was supposed to work, but its no longer being made. The cool

Hi Guillermo, I crudely measured several of the dozen or so slits that I use. They range from about .5mm to .75mm; most are about .65mm. I wasn't sure how to plug the numbers into the the following formula, since the slits are different lengths from the film plane. Most always the inner slit
