[pinhole-discussion] Maco 820c IR reciprocity

2003-05-12 Thread ColdMarblePhoto
With new spring greenery popping up here, I find myself tempted to wrestle with infrared film in a 4x5 pinhole camera. I've used Maco's 820c film in 35mm for lens image making and had limited success playing with it in my pinHolga. However, I've been unable to find much, if anything, as far as data

Two points. 1. Panoramic generally means wider than about 3x2 2. A curved back camera will produce a different projection than a cropped down negative from a rectilinear camera. Rectilinear projection spreads out the edges of the frame to preserve straight lines, whereas a curved back camera

I'm going to guess that my answer would be that it is a combination of the angle of view and a format that is wider than a normally wide format (I would guess that the typical 2X3 aspect of 35mm film would be condidered wide). Indeed, you could halve a sheet of 4X5, but if the result was a slit
