thanks G! paper film average wavelengths for sensitivity seem to fall in the range of 475 to 500 nm, which is blue-green... it doesn't look like any appreciable difference would show up if they were to be inserted in the optimal diameter formulas because it's so close to green (the

Greg, The Unicolor roller and drum do a wonderful job. If you are having trouble fixing you have one of several problems: 1. Insufficient fixer quantity - Use as much fixer as your tube will hoild without running out the pouring spout. I usually use 8 ounces in these tubes. 2. Weak or

Yes they have both the Hoyas and the Shott listed under commercial quality bandpass filters in their industrial catalog. They are unmounted which is not a problem for pinhole or zoneplate. Howard Wells Andy Schmitt wrote: I've been looking for one for a while. The optical UV filters are real

just checked out the link, but that uv pinhole photo is not unusually sharp... i think he just had a decent pinhole to start with the next thought on sharpness is to recalculate the optimum aperture size formula by substituting the average wavelength that paper is actually sensitive to in

http://www.naturfotograf.com/index2_PC.html See the link above for a suggestion that exposing pinhole with nothing but UV makes a sharper photo. I've been thinking about buying one of the appropriate filters from Edmund Scientific and trying UV pinhole this summer. Has anyone done it? Howard

2002-06-01 Thread Jim Kosinski
in the formulas used to determine the optimal pinhole diameter for a given focal distance the wavelength of green light seems to be used because it's in the center of the visible spectrum... would it be possible to get more sharpness with the same pinhole diameter by changing the color of the
