[Digital BW] Re: Single Weight Paper

2006-09-24 by Steven Karafyllakis

Gary-

As you're discovering, there is probably no such critter any more. 
But if the issue is getting it into a film holder-I just tested a 
piece of photo RC paper in a film holder and it goes in easily 
enough. He'll probably have to use VC paper, in which case I would 
suggest shooting through a heavy yellow filter.

Luck,

Steve Karafyllakis
