Hi Mike,
A few years ago I made a camera out of an old 8x10 cibachrome developing
tank that I had. I sealed the pinhole with a red glass filter and developed
the images in the camera.
The other cool thing about having a sealed pinhole camera is that you can
fill the camera with water
Richard, I have to correct you; 1 roll of 36 mm x 36 is exactly equal to 1
sheet of 8x 10 - 80 square inches. Check Kodak developer tech bulletins.

One 8x10 neg has way more surface area than 2 rolls of 135x36. 3 to 4 oz of
dilute developer is a bargain. Nobody does 8x10 for the
Good job! What kind of camera are you using, and what
kind of focal length? I have always shot film, but would
like to experiment with paper.
What did you mean by Gimp curves? changing contrast?
I have found that this is almost always necessary with my
pinhole film scans, and even my digital
I you want clouds and use paper negatives the answer is simple
Use a multigrade paper and place a 0 multigrade filter or other colour
equivalent behind the pinhole. This will reduce contrast to the point where
you get skies and a more continual tonal range.
The only drawback is that the
or...
just fix it for 1/2 the time in the tube then dump it into a fixer tray.
TMax, especially, has an indicator built into it (the infamous purple) that
indicates incomplete fixing so you want to be careful removing the
coloration w/ HCA to pull it out.

From:
Paper negatives have different qualities than film
and shooting cloudes is definitely not among them.
Paper negatives gives me the opportunity to deal with
time/light modelling the subjekt. The sun is moving,
remember? Exposure-time from 1 - 30 hours makes me
think and act differently compared
I finally got my wooden 4x5 camera lightproof and taken few test shots
using paper negatives. Results are fine, but some recent talk here (esp.
diluting developer) made me search for methods for better tonality.
Flashing (ie. pre-exposure) was one I've already tried, but these tests
showed
thanks all for your information.
Building a developing tube seems quite easy and cheap compared to ready
tubes. I've taken 6x6 film pinhole photos with my modified Holga and the
tonal range is much better than the paper negatives. But now as it looks
like I may be able to develop sheet film

or build a developing tube or 2..then you just load roll...sort of.. 8o)

That's another possibility. Here is a link to a design I have read is
effective:
