Re: [pinhole-discussion] ciba/ilfochrome speed ratings
I've got a friend who used Ilfochrome with pinhole and uses EI 1 to get his images. This is a very slow paper, much slower than "regular" B&W paper. He uses it with either an 85A or 85B (I forget which). Cheers - george --- drew wrote: > I plan on making a simple 8x10 single sheet ciba camera this week.

RE: [pinhole-discussion] ciba/ilfochrome speed ratings
Drew I used it once when Nancy Ori was teaching a Cibachrome class for me @ Peters Valley. It seems to have an EI of about 6 but requires some odd filtration to get the colors right. Expensive but really fun... I'm looking forward to seeing your results. andy funny but with my spell checker, the suggested word for Cibachrome is Coachwoman.. hmmm -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] ciba/ilfochrome speed ratings Drew, I can't answer your question personally, I know that Willy Ann Wright has used Ciba in the past. I don't believe that she is on the list, but if you do a search for her you will find her email address. She is real nice and I'm sure could answer any question you might have.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] ciba/ilfochrome speed ratings
I settled on 2.5 indoors an 1.5 outdoors, which turned out to be fairly satisfactory. The outdoors with 85a filter did,t result in colors I liked. Mark Dungan has done a lot of this and likes shooting outdoors just before sunset, which probably improves the color balance. - Original Message - From: "drew" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 9:19 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] ciba/ilfochrome speed ratings > I plan on making a simple 8x10 single sheet ciba camera this week.

It seems a popular enough pinhole medium to shoot on so im puzzled by the lack of info. I have seen some references to EI 1 through about EI 100. I don't fear the experimentation but even with home processing @ about 5 minutes a pop it is time consuming and I of course want to spend as much time in the light as possible. Anyone with ballparks based in actual pinhole exposures?

I plan on making a simple 8x10 single sheet ciba camera this week. I've searched high and low (including the archives) and have found almost nothing that states the EI of ilfochrome... It seems a popular enough pinhole medium to shoot on so im puzzled by the lack of info. I have seen some references to EI 1 through about EI 100. I don't fear the experimentation but even with home processing @ about 5 minutes a pop it is time consuming and I of course want to spend as much time in the light as possible. Anyone with ballparks based in actual pinhole exposures? Thanks in advance -drew
