Paper negs in a Pocket vest camera
« on: January 23, 2013, 09:02:13 PM »
Hi guys
I had been given a Kodak vest pocket camera a while back and I know getting 127 film for it is grief so I thought, what about cutting up some b & w paper to a size and exposing that in it (using a changing bag in the field ) assuming that would work, what kind of exposure times would I be looking at for paper negs. I know I could do trial and error but would like a rough starting off point so I could play around from there. Any ideas?
 Cheers Irv

Start at 6 ISO and go from there.

Or just get in touch with FilmPlus and get a few rolls of 127. Save the spools and backing paper and then re-spool your choice of emulsion from a roll of 120.

I and another filmwaster have posted articles about cutting down 120 film to fit...very easily done!
