Paper Questions

[pinhole_dreamer]

I reread the info insert that came with the multigrade Ilford paper. The ISO is 200! D'oh! I've been checking out Ilford's site - and I want to stay with the resin coated...and I did find some paper that was an ISO of 125 and then I found one with a 4-5 ISO!

Are there any other photo papers that have a range of around 50...or even 25? I'm thinking that would probably be great to use on a bright day...or even in shadows without a tremendously long exposure time for either the Brownie box (1904 camera) or even my truck (pinhole).

In advance, thanks for the suggestions!

I believe the ISO scale used to rate papers is much different from the scale used to rate film. Any paper is going to be very slow, in the low single digits if you equated it to film speed.

I'm finding that in super bright sunlight even with my pinhole camera is a bit risky...which tells me either I messed up making the camera or the paper isn't all that slow.

hi susan

the way manufacturers rate paper is differently than film ..
some papers are less than 1 and some are as high as 25 ... ( relative to film )
