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 :smile:

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?

PS: when will you show up for tea, man? It's getting cold, LOL! Door is always open - provided I'm home.


It's complicated... Soon I'll be graduated at schooling than there will be time for tea. :smile: and other stories.
We'll keep in touch

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.
