Hi there. Been watching your Pinhole photography videos. I've been really getting into pinhole this year. Using my Holga 120wpc and now upgraded to Mia pinholes offering. This 6x17 looks really interesting. A question; with the film being curved in front of the pinhole, if the camera is perfectly level can you get correct angles or is everything bending and distorted lines and horizons? It must be film hungry with only 4 shots per roll, but that huge letterbox format does look very interesting. My favourite format so far is the 6x12 2:1
@irresponsiblepictures7451Ай бұрын
Hiya! When level there is little distortion but if you have it pointing up or down you will get distortion. The spirit level on the top helps greatly. I'm actually selling my 6x17 (as I have the large format now) so let me know if you're interested!

Is the doubled exposure time for reciprocitity a film specific average, or does it work as a general rule?
@irresponsiblepictures7451Ай бұрын
Some swear by correct reciprocity but some just shoot not taking it into account. I would say its probably recommended to use proper reciprocity if you want to make direct prints from the negative. I scan and edit and so far I have had no issues with the films I have used by just doubling the exposure.

Based on your review, I ordered one. It came today. Took about 10 days, which is very reasonable. The use of wood is a great way to minimize problems with the printed section. The shutter is really nice. Put an elastic band round mine, over the shutter. Then I can drop it in my pocket, although I don't think it would open without it. I just like to be cautious. It is the cheapest 35mm I've come across at this quality point. Looking forward to seeing what it can do. Just loaded it with Acros 100 ii. Getting 5 second exposures in full sun.

@@nicholasdurant6866 Hi! I use an app simply called light meter. The clack is on bulb. Aperture I set to f11 on the app with the respective iso. Shutter on app would display how many seconds to hold open for and as a (rough) rule I would just double the exposure time for reciprocity.

@irresponsiblepictures74513 ай бұрын
Hiya! I dont get all wound up in technical stuff with paper negative so I don't flash the paper before. Iso 6 is what I rate at. Im using Ilford multigrade b&w paper (gloss) usually but also using old Ilford grade 2 b&w (gloss). Weather wise its only exposure times that is variable. Develop in highly diluted ilford multigrade. 1 parts 19 water. Diluted Vinegar for stop. 20 seconds in ilford rapid fixer. When scanning I will use a flatbed scanner but for the very best results for extra detail and a bit more latitude I use a lightbox and dslr.
