Film replacement

Post by Dave Parkin » Thu Sep 07, 2006 5:51 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

As we use film bigger than 100 Sqcm could we not use silver rich paper negatives as regularly suggested by the weekly and monthly photographic magazines? Has anyone got any experience of using paper negatives? The main drawback seems to me to be the length of exposures and contact printing small 5x4 negatives but this should not be a problem with bigger formats.
