Hello you all,

I was wondering... Is there a B/W paper for RA-4?
actualy I want to try RA-4 positive reversal on 'in camera' paper
and I know a little about the workflow of Ethan. Mosses
And I was wondering, By the lack of filtering, It would be quite possible to shoot in
the wild, in less lcontrolled light situations.. now I bought this cassette for the fuji frontier..
and it still contains some paper and it is labeled Black and white....

anyone? thanks in advance

Now you know why you got it, hehe!
Trying to filter color RA4 to neutral B&W is a b*tch btw...so I do understand your question.

However, why not simply use B&W RC paper?

And bleach it with 'waterstofperoxide' kaliumpermanganaat at the end I like to reverse it... and the simpler the better. I also love the fact that RA-4 positive reversal stuf.. you can see the image appear by daylight... magic!!

Yes, indeed, with a reversal bleach. RA4 is simpler in that sense because you can just use a B&W developer initially and then develop the rest of it in color, which is easier and no special chemistry needed.
