Hi: I remember reading a reference to using x-ray film covered in the pinhole resource. It does work with light. I believe x-ray film is more contrasty than regular film. I think a lower contrast developer is suggested. Selectol was supposed to work, but its no longer being made. The cool thing about X-ray film is that it often has an emulsion on both sides of the film. some people made cameras where the film hung in the middle and pinholes were on each end. a sort of double exposure was made with two images being formed on opposite sides of the film. Large format film from kodak ilford is expensive see if you can find a supplier of forte or bergger, In Canada there's http://www.eightelmphoto.com On Thu, 8 Nov 2001, Murray wrote: > Hello: > > Apologies if this question was answered 47 times already before I thought to > ask it. > > Any one use b/w sheet film that uses 'conventional' developer instead of > paper negatives (other than lith/exotics) ? > > If so, what kind?
