Re: [pinhole-discussion] Paper Negative Questions
Ilford multigrade is best. If you are going to use paper flat, then the surface doesn't matter. if you are going to curve the paper, as around the inside of a can, use the flattest surface you can get. I think peal is as dull as Iolford gets. The usual rule of thumb for any paper is ISo of 5 or 6. the other thing about paper negatives is that the results tend to be very contrasty. If you don't like that, use a yellow filter and double the exposure time. Is the new e-mail address the ofical one? - Original Message - From: David To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Cannon A-1 Pinhole
Yes, I too was going to reply to the question about the Canon A-1 with a word about the Olympus OM-2. I'm glad someone mentioned this. I have a vague recollection of when I bought my OM-2--the only SLR I have ever owned--reading in the manual the section that explained that the auto exposure meter continues to read light from the film plane after the shutter has opened and will end the exposure or extend it as appropriate if light conditions change after the shutter has been depressed. I am not aware of many other (any other?) cameras that do this. I am not even sure that many other Olympus cameras did this. I'm pretty sure the OM-1 does not. OM-2 bodies are often available used. They are fairly pricey, however. They are more expensive now than when they were new. I remember in Japan a body in good used condition was usually about 35,000 yen, just under $300 today. I think mine was about $200 when new in 1977. No doubt they appear on E-bay, but I don't know. Anyway, I regularly use mine as a pinhole camera with a body cap pinhole. I've found that outdoors in bright light with ASA 1600 film (or even 400) you can use it handheld pretty easily. It mounts on a tripod (naturally!) for indoor work. A fair number of the pinhole photos on my pinhole site were done this way. (http://www.sonic.net/~talcroft/PinholeSite/). The other end of the light spectrum would be the nudes on the same site, which were done with the same body cap on ASA 100 film indoors using a tripod. It's been a while, but I remember the metered exposure through the pinhole (a laser-drilled hole of about f=143) was generally 8-30 seconds in the low light "studio" conditions (at night with one, sometimes two 300W bulbs). I remember the result usually was a gross underexposure, so in very low light situations I'm not sure the OM-2 meter alone can be relied on to do anything special that is useful for pinhole. It remains a beautiful camera, nevertheless. Colin __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Cannon A-1 Pinhole
This is dependant on the camera manufacture, cameras such as the blessed Olympus OM2 have an amazing Off The Film metering. You can use a dirty glass plate in place of a lens and you will have an accurate exposure via aperture priority since it measures the amount of light which hits the film - very cool. DOn Thom Mitchell wrote: I would recommend shutter priority since exposures tend towards seconds rather than fractions of seconds. Also Aperture Priority wouldn't reflect the correct f/stop since the body cap isn't an aperture ring. - Original Message - From: "gregg b. mc neill" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 2:40 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Cannon A-1 Pinhole > If I'm setting my analog Cannon A-1 to Aperture Priority, with the pinhole > bodycap, will the exposure that the camera gives me reflect any of the > reciprocity adjustments needed to porperly expose the image? > > Also is there any reciprocity concerns in digital? > > thanks in advance > > gregg mc neill > > > > _ > MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: > http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx > > > ___ > Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML > Pinhole-Discussion mailing list > Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? > unsubscribe or change your account at > http://www.???/discussion/ ___ Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???/discussion/ - Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Cannon A-1 Pinhole
Aperture priority will work, and a quick and easy method to deal with any reciprocity is to do a few things, first, half your ASA rating on your camera and shoot merrily while you smile. Additionally, If you are shooting B&W you can use a more efficient or compensating developer in the processing. Rodinal at a dilution of 1:100 will deliver superb negatives for pinhole, as its compensating action keeps the highlights from being blown out. Some will scoff and say that Rodinal is not a developer for film speeds above 100 ASA, I heartlily disagree. My most luminous negatives have been made with Neopan 400 developed in Rodinal at 1:100. Acufine and Diafine are two examples of efficient developers for underexposed or weak negatives. Timing is more critical in the development stage, in the case of Acufine too much development will severely block up your negatives. If you are really worried about reciprocity, try a chromogenic film, say Ilford XP2 super and shoot it aperture priority set at ASA 100. I have tried this with zoneplate negatives on my nikon and the images were superb! All that and I could run it through the local 1-hour. Don William Erickson wrote: I doubt the aperture priority will work proerly with the pinhole, if I understand you correctly. there doesn't seem to be any reciprocity failure within the 30 second exposure time limits. I haven't tried longer. - Original Message - From: "gregg b. mc neill" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 1:40 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Cannon A-1 Pinhole > If I'm setting my analog Cannon A-1 to Aperture Priority, with the pinhole > bodycap, will the exposure that the camera gives me reflect any of the > reciprocity adjustments needed to porperly expose the image? > > Also is there any reciprocity concerns in digital? > > thanks in advance > > gregg mc neill > > > > _ > MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: > http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx > > > ___ > Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML > Pinhole-Discussion mailing list > Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? > unsubscribe or change your account at > http://www.???/discussion/ > ___ Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???/discussion/ - Do You Yahoo!?
