Chris, Thank you.
I have the processing part figured out already. Though the film can be processed at a mere 15 ft/min at 85 F, I'd take a more conservative approach. After exposure, I'd cut it into 4x5 pieces and do the old manual process. What I can't figure out is how to measure the film as it travels thru the camera. Here is another camera to use if you get the right sized film. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2959477876&category=297 Mike -- --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 15:20:05 From: Pinhole Blender <ch...@pinholeblender.com> To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???????
