I am travelling in the summer and need to keep equipment down to a minimum. I am considering building a 10 x 8 and 5 x 4 cameras. My question is:
How does enlarged 5 x 4 negative pinhole photographs compare to contact printed 10 x 8 paper negatives? You see, the problem is where to go for negative film with all the storage and development headaches that go with it when away from a darkroom for weeks, or go for the easier but less sharp paper negative. And if I were to go for 10 x 8 negative film, how would that enlarge? Is it worth enlarging pinhole negatives or is it always better to contact print? This is mainly an aesthetic question based on practical considerations. I would very much appreciate some advise and imput - I am torn in two! Alexis
