[pinhole-discussion] Polaroid Negatives

[Jason Russell]

I've been shooting with a Polaroid 545 back for a couple months now.  I've
been tossing my negatives in the trash after development.  I was wondering
if there was a way to fix the negatives so that I can keep them for future
use.  I remember seeing something about this, but I can't remember where I
saw it or how I go about doing it.  Whatever the process is, is it the same
for both B&W and color negatives?

Thanks inadvance.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Question on image circle and medium format pinhole camera design

[I Zarkov]

The recent discussion re the circle and vignetting and falloff leads me to 
post this.

I have been using this camera [upload gallery
http://www.???/discussion/upload/ 
gallery2002.php?pic=donahoe_camera.jpg  ] and others like it for about 12 
years now. I wouldn't think of using anything else for doing pinhole work. 
The barrel is about 6" though others I use are 4 1/2" and 3" focal lengths, 
a good range of 'tele', 'normal' and 'wide' angle; no issues of falloff or 
change of density as you approach the edges since only a small part of the 
optical 'circle' is used. The pinholes were made by using either a #10 or 
#12 sewing needle - sorry no laser drilled exactitude :-) and a tip of the 
hat to Jim Shull's book too.
I began using these cameras as I am sure most people on the list have: to 
get back to a simpler more direct means of making photographs. But trying to 
compose on the circle rather than the rectilinear frame and anticipating 
what may fall within the field of vision - how to use the near foreground 
and sky - has kept me with them.
For an example of my work with this camera see the gallery at

RE: [pinhole-discussion] Color 120 format films

[António Vieira]

I use almost only NPH 400. I like the colors (not vivid, enhanced ot whatever) 
and specially the latitude of the exposition. It is almost certain that we get 
something from the image no matter the exposition-error is.

(some of the images were changed with desaturation of color channels)
