Andrew, you mention 26 sconds as an exposure time for the thinnest of the negatives in your video (thanks for that) - but Jacro mentions 10 minutes/f8 for an exposure, on a sunny day. You also have a walking person in one of your negatives, unblurred - also mysterious if the 10m/f8 figure is to go by. Even if the aperture opens 6 stops, the exposure would be several seconds long, starting from 10m/f8. No doubt I'm missing something - lay it on me!
Amazing! (Too bad we never get UV light in the UK!)
Right - I actually saw the preamble to the video but didn't absorb it (distracted by my donut). Thanks.As mentioned in the video, I contact printed existing negatives onto the UV film. I show the negatives at 57 sec into the video... I also stated in the video, that I will be loading up a camera to take photos outdoors, once we get some decent sun

Their web site indicates that letting the (latent?) image fade over seven days or so and then heat developing will generate a positive. Curious stuff.
It's a cool and intriguing process and was completely beyond my ken until I discovered this thread but without wishing to sound underwhelmed by it I cannot work out what the advantages of it is beyond its ability to make a copy of a standard neg such as Andrew has done
What does it do beyond that?
Thanks

That is what I'm going to look into for part 2.
I would prefer it if they packaged up sheet film sizes.
Yes part 2 might or might not be interesting. Strangely I thought immediately that one of the advantages of this stuff might be the ability to make large negatives such as 8x10 or even larger from even bigger LF cameras such as yours and develop without even having any of the equipment that is normally needed but lack of sheet film sizes means that this is not possible
Apart from a kind of "party trick " interest that may not last, I wonder if there is really anything else that makes it an advantage to have but I look forward to being informed to the contrary

Great video Andy, had a cup of my favorite tea and an apple fritter whilst watching.

Apple Fritters are my favourite! Washed down with a white, Orange Pekoe.
