Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid P/N film
many folks believe Polaroid P/N Type 55 film is the type that you must expose for either the negative or the print. It is an either or proposition This is not always the case! When the lighting is lower in contrast you can expose for a good print and get a good negative at the same time because the tonal range of the subject is compressed and fits the range of the negative nicely. You can increase the negative contrast with Selenium toner if you like. Try it! Jim K www.paintcancamera.com

Stom, Polaroid P/N Type 55 film is the type that you must expose for either the negative or the print. It is an either or proposition. The Polaroid P/N pack film (the number of which I can't remember) is not an either or proposition. The print and negative will match. James Johnston james...@aol.com

Here is the secret: The negative and positive that you get from Type 55 film do not have quite the same exposure characteristics. You can either expose for a good positive, in which case the negative is slightly thin, or over expose the print slightly in order to get a that will print well. Unfortunately, you can't get both a good negative and a good positive from the same exposure. Mike Vande Bunt
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid P/N film
Last summer I saw an article in the Seattle Times about a photographer named Roseanne Olson who takes pinhole photographs on Polaroid 55 film. Although I have not yet used this film myself, it was seeing these photographs that impelled me to take up pinhole photography. You can read the article and see the pictures at http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/travel/camera/gallery/ Katharine Thayer Stom Ohno wrote: I am thinking about using Polaroid 4x5 T-55 Positive/Negative film for pinhole photography.

It great stuffbut very sensitive to scratches, etc. Requires very delicate handling. I used it for a series of 4 x 5 portraits. To clear the film, use a normal dilution of Perma Wash...not sodium sulfite. It's easier and cleaner. Good Luck. leezy

Stom Ohno o...@maine.edu Type 55 is an excellent material, no doubt about it! Handling the negatives in the field takes some care. Here are a few ideas: You can use Sprint's Archive fixer remover full strength to remove the gel. This is a whole lot easier than mixing a sodium sulfite solution. Then place the negs in water until you get home. You can even dry the negs on a line in the car, then rewash them later. You cannot use ORBIT for this purpose. Haven't checked out any other fixer removers or wash aids yet. Also, if seeing the image is not important, you can remove each shot from the Polaroid back and wait until you get home to process them. What I'd like to know is how to get a darkroom print that matches the beautiful Polaroid print tones! Good hunting up there! Jim K www.paintcancamera.com
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid P/N film
I used this film frequently with my 4X5 camera, but have never used it for pinhole applications. It is quit slow (ISO 50) which could make for some pretty long exposures. It is a wonderful film for enlarging, plus you have the advantage of seeing your results within a minute.
