Not good prospects for quick processing of medium or large format in those
areas. I've done a lot of travel pinholing and I've found that once I know
the camera and have hit on an exposure schedule that works, I can get quite
uniformly reliable results and can shoot away for a couple of weeks in
Europe and rely on what I'll get. The real secret is, I think, that
overexposure is so forgiving. I'd suggest trying a roll or two, meter the
exposure, apply the multiplier that would be right if the pinhole you're
using is optimal for the pinhole-film distance and the reciprocity
correction for the time, then overexpose by one stop and see what you get.
the Zero cameras, like all commercial pinhole cameras, have an optimal
pinhole for the focal length.
