I taught a pinhole workshop for a local camera club this past Thursday. One of the exposures I made was a paper negative 35mm format!! which I then proceeded to enlarge to 6"x6" size (a center portion of the negative) . I had no problem doing so and IMO it held up OK, even when using satin finish B&W paper, glossy paper would give "better" results I'd assume. BTW, focusing on the grain of the photo paper was absolutely not a problem, it was very much like focusing on film grain. Never enlarged paper before, it is definitely doable. Guillermo
