[pinhole-discussion] I have uploaded an image
Hello I have lurked on the the pinhole-discussion for a while. I built a 6x6 pinhole camera about three months ago and have enjoyed using it. It is a 25mm job made from an old medium format voigtlander, a poor man's 2000. I have found that expired tmax 120 at 1.89 a roll is ideal. Unlike a few of you I have not been as intrigued by the expense of 4x5. Please see the image I have posted in the gallery. I would love to get some critique. Brent __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Re: Type 55 Polaroid materials, et al..
That's true, you don't have to fix the negatives. However, there is a two part Fix/Hardener solution available ( Kodak, I believe ) where you can harden the negative so it will be more scratch resistant. You just don't use the Fix portion of it.

Comments appreciated. Colin

I believe that it's an 18% solution. I saw the same 18% solution ratio in an article in a back issue of View Camera magazine...but a couple of people on list have told me to use Perma Wash instead, as Sodium Sulfite tends to be grainy . As I understand it correctly, the Type 55 P/N must be fixed, then run/agtitated through a PermaWash solution( working strength of 3 oz PermaWash to a gallon of water), re-washed , then dried before usable for printing , I hope I am not being denser than my negatives :-) DAlfrey dalf...@aol.com ___ Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???/discussion/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Daylight Printer for BW Paper
Hi folks, The details of a simple and inexpensive daylight contact printer for black white papers can now be found on my website on the page named 'Look, No Darkroom!' Now you can really make BW prints without a darkroom. Actually, you can teach a whole course this way, with the exception of using an enlarger to change the image size. However, that's easy with a scanner and a computer these days. Enjoy, Jim K www.paintcancamera.com
