Very nice job, hope to see more like it. I'm interested in trying paper negative work with pinhole. So I have a couple quick questions for those with paper negative experience: 1) What brand of single weight photo paper has NO labeling on it's back? 2) Does the Kodak name, from the back, show through on the final print when you print with that brand? or is it faint enough not to? In my experience, I have never seen the Kodak logo. 3) Which is best to use RC or fiber? You want something that is going to make good contact when contact printing. Glossy RC will go firmly in contact when it is time to print. 4) Any good starting exposures for brands of paper you might be familiar with? Ilford MGIV EI2 would be a good starting point.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Does Pinhole-Discussion have an archive?
Thanks for the reply, Guillermo. And I agree about the earlier archive being easier to search than the more recent postings. I hope to combine the two sometime next year into a single archive similar to the earlier one. - Gregg On Tuesday, November 5, 2002, at 04:12 PM, Guillermo wrote: - Original Message - From: Andrew Amundsen a...@tcinternet.net ...how do we access the archives?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Paper negative questions
Hi Andrew, Thank you for the kind comments. There will be more forums (or fora, for purists). To tell the truth, I'm looking forward to seeing the answer to your questions on which paper to use. I still have a box or two of Ilford Multigrade III RC matt, which was single-weight with no markings on the back. Ilford discontinued making matt RC when they brought out Multigrade IV. A loss for pinholers. RC paper has the advantage of not curling. Also, I've read that the fiber texture in the paper can affect the print.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Paper negative questions
Thanks for the comment. I thought it was good too. Most folks like Ilford paper. No, the kodak printing doesn't always come through, but you never can tell. most folks use an ISo of 5 for starters. I've always used RC. - Original Message - From: Andrew Amundsen a...@tcinternet.net To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???
