[pinhole-discussion] HP5, Delta films and reciprocity

2002-07-19 Thread BWPHOTO4527
OK, This has probably been discussed recently, but can anyone out there recommend a good formula/rule of thumb for adjusting exposure for reciprocity in Ilford films? The technical data on their webpage is merely a chart, and I am hoping to get more specific information, based on the experienc

Hi: standard narrow masking tape. I tape the ends of the negative together to form a loop. It ends up obscuring the very edge of the negative. I tried using a kind of reusable double-sided sticky tape, but it didn't hold. Also thought of adding slots to hold the film, but they would also end up

Measure the distance from the pinhole to the back. Multiply the distance (in inches) by 55. The result is the square of the optimal diameter, in thousandths of an inch. If an altoid can is 3/4 of an inch deep, the optimal diamter is .0064 inches. - Original Message - From: "Steve Shapiro"

Shannon, Don't forget about selenium intensification if your negative isn't up to contrast. It works great and usually gives effective +1 contrast increase. Mix it 1 part selenium toner to 2 parts hypo clear working strength. Tone for up to 5 minutes...beyond that no extra contrast will b

There have been several optimum size formulas over the last century but this one works fine if you're after maximum sharpness the pinhole can afford. square root of (0.0016 x focal length) Of course, focal length refers to the planned distance between the pinhole and film in your camera/

I misspoke this morning when i sent a comment about the relationship between pinhole size and sharpness. I indicted that exposure doubles with every 40% increase in diamter. It should have been the area of the aperture doubles, and thus time halves.
