[pinhole-discussion] Zero 2000 exposure times
So, I haven't gotten back my first roll yet so I'm not sure how/if the images are going to develop. I'm a little concerned about the exposure times... I tried using my light meter but the exposure times came out to about 1/8 second in bright light (using the dial on the back of the camera). Zernike gave me some helpful hints, including the fact that the 2 second recommendation in the instructions for bright sunlight are based on 100 asa film. I was using 160. So now I'm calculating the times for 100 asa and they're still around 1/4 sec. Is it my light meter or am I doing something wrong somewhere? Thanks for any help, Rob
Re: [pinhole-discussion] color processing
years ago the color chem were worse than they are now there have been some changes and they are probably no worse, or even a lot less bad than some b/w stuff. Trebla is probably the best and most forgiving brand, and a lot less costly than Kodak stuff.go for it. skip >From: Lisa Reddig >To: >Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 1:07 PM >Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] color processing > > >> I had been asking around a month or so ago to people I know about doing >> color processing at home.

[pinhole-discussion] Zero 2000 camera problem
Could anyone tell me how to stop getting the lens cover in the image. Even using short exposures of 1 or 2 seconds with Verichrome 125 film I get about half of the 12 images on a roll with part of the lens cover in the photo. Wondering if people who have the cable release installed have the same problem. Help! Thanks for help on this.

[pinhole-discussion] drill holes not round
Hello: An engineer once told me 'twist' drills make a hole that is actually slightly egg-shaped, but a reamer makes a round hole...reamers probably don't com ein sizes that needles do, so needle is probably best (assuming they are round!) Murray
Re: [pinhole-discussion] color processing
I did color printing at home for about ten years without harm to myself or anyone else. There's a fair expense for equipment and it isn't fun like B&W. If you can find a school or something with the dry to dry processor you can save yourself a lotof time, expense and hassle. - Original Message - From: Lisa Reddig To: Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 1:07 PM Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] color processing > I had been asking around a month or so ago to people I know about doing > color processing at home.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] color processing
I had been asking around a month or so ago to people I know about doing color processing at home. And all of them warned me of the very dangerous chemicals involved. Any tips from those of you who have been doing it. I would love to do my color at home like I do my own black and white, so I can have the contol. But the chemicals have been scaring me away. lisa
[pinhole-discussion] color processing
i have essentially done all of my 4x5s as well as 35 mm color myself--both positives and negatives, with good results. hand agitation in self-controlled water temperature bath works fine, you just need to be vigilant. c-41 is easier than e-6 chemistry, as it has fewer steps, but the whole process is highly gratifying, somehow...i had a moderate magenta dominant at first, but through better temp. control eliminated that and am happy with the results. meg
Re: [pinhole-discussion] at home color processing?
Hi: I don't process my own color film yet, once I get reasonalby good at color gum this may change :) Jobo has a kit, which they say is _the best_ deal http://www.jobo-usa.com/products/cpe2plus.htm My understanding of color processing is that it is dependent upon accurate temperature control, and consistent agitation. Since color film is processed above room temperature it is difficult to control the temperature unless a water bath is used. Color film is not supposed to be as forgiving as b&w. This Jobo kit and others like it are set up to provide a stable temperature during processing and proper agitation. You might be able to find a temperature controlled water bath from a surplus scientfic supply shop like http://www.labequip.com/ and do this a little cheaper, but you would need to agitate yourself. Go to the library and get a book on color processing :) Gord (Son of a librarian) > - Original Message - > From: Jeff Dilcher > To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? > Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2001 2:54 PM > Subject: [pinhole-discussion] at home color processing? > > > Just wondering if any pinholers here are processing their color negatives > at home.
