Hope this helps.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] The Wyndham Montreal Pinhole Camera Project
Hello Guy, Yes, in NDG. Have you had any space offered, the BELGO building (Douglas Gallery are looking for stuff) on St. Catherine and Bleury, VOX, the photo ass., now that they are installed in BONSECOURS Market??? How about the lobby of the Wyndam Hotel? I walk by there quite frequently so I can imagine what the view is like from the tenth floor facing the mountain.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Re: new to this list
Hi, I guess I might as well get into the act. I am not new to this list, having been a member since November 18th, 1999 but this is the first time you are hearing from me. In the meantime, I have accumulated quite an archive of useful material from this group and quite the collection of pinhole photos that have been posted here over the years. I am 53 years old, live in Montréal, Québec, Canada, teach philosophy and have been back to photography, darkroom and all, for the past five years. I work with lenses in 35, 4.5x6, 6x6, 6x9, 4x5 and 8x10. I also collect vintage cameras and lenses from the 1930's to 1960's. I made my first pinhole over forty years ago for a science project in high school; the following year, we built an x-ray tube and since I was also the school photographer, I got to develop the 4x5 x-ray of my hand. I still have it, my hand that is. I just recently decided to get back to pinhole photography as a complement to a photo project I am working on. As a result, I just recently acquired some pinholes from a fellow member of this group. I am following with much interest the discussion on 4x5 pinholing since I want to use the pinholes on my 4x5 Crown Graphic and Kodak Empire 8x10. May the light be with you.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] New Pinhole Images
Hi, This is not a rumour but a fact. It was confirmed by e-mail, from the vice-president of marketing for U.S., which we received on the rec.photo.darkroom. AGFA has ceased production of APX 25. This was also confirmed by various photodealers as I rushed around buying all the remaining stock of the film. I find this heartbreaking news.
