[pinhole-discussion] fstop time multiplier analysis simplification

Hello: There's a term for making things more complicated than they are, and I don't remember what it is, so I'll get to the point (irony?). exposure time multiplier = [(higher f-stop number)/(lower f-stop number)]^2 Don't need the logarithmic factors - I think I had them on both sides of my equa

Hi folks, My SX 70 just broke, the film is not coming out. I know there are people here that use SX 70 for pinholes, so maybe some one knows how to fix it. I don't have anyone here in Brazil that is able to do that, so I'll have to manage to do it myself. Thanks in advance for any clues, Joao

The best developer, designed for push processing beyond 2 stops is the Windich formulas or Pyrocetchen formulas found in Stephen G.

I've more or less standardised on Pyro PMK as a negative developer with HP5 and FP4. It produces negatives that are perfect for making ordinary silver prints, but the proportional yellowish stain acts as added density which is most effective at the blue and UV end of the spectrum. This makes the ne
