I have design a way were you can use contrast filters and etc with a regular heat lamp with regular enlarger buble

That drone follow was so sick!

Thank you for showing this method, i usual do some pinhole shooting with paper film, and this really helps me getting copys.

Super- if u get a chance- zoom in on the finished print🙏

Great video! Love that you showed how to McGyver  and your whole approach was REAL WORLD, not MATH in the DARKROOM world..thanks!

You can actually use Ilford Multigrade Contrast Filters without an enlarger if you are using 4x5 paper negatives with the method you showed.  Ilford makes those filters in a large 6x6 inch sheet size for insertion into the overhead enlargers that have trays above the lens but below the condenser head.  Those filter kits actually start at 00 grade and go up to 5.  You can lay one of those filters over the top of the contact print during exposure with the lights and that will give you a way to control the contrast without an enlarger in the mix.  The 00 grade filter can also be used in front of the lens at the time you are exposing the paper negative in the studio or out in the field to control contrast in a subtle way.  Those 6x6 filter kits are available on eBay used for less than a retail online shop.  I hope that helps someone if they are struggling with contrast issues.

this was awesome!

Great video! 👍👍👍

Great tutorial, thanks.

This way really cool. Gotta give it a try.

That was nice. Thank you

Thanks for another informative vid! Stay safe

I just wonder: as you do not have the numbers on the back of the paper (film) how do you know how far to wind forward for the next exposure?

my man I have to give you credit I've been trying to find a video that explains this and I go through so many people that just talk and talk and never get to the point or don't say what ISO they should rate the paper at. That's something I try to do religiously on my channel. And dude that drone follow was genius. Respect

thank you

I have used paper of pinholes, but never for medium format, you sir are a genius!!!

Wow I never knew this was even a thing. Definitely gonna try it sometime great video mate!

This is really fascinating. How do a set my film cameras to 6 ISO? None have a setting that low.

I tried to use it my overhead lights to do a contact print with a normal negative once and I only did it for like a quarter of a second then it still completely blew out the entire print

About to start cutting some paper in 4x5. But I'll be using HC-110 as the developer. Plus no tray devlop...don't have the room. Thanks for the tutorial!!
