ljplicease | when formats matter

I kickstarted a couple of ONDU pinhole cameras just for the fun of it a while back. They arrived a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to shooting a roll through one of them on Sunday and processed the roll tonight. This camera uses a larger format of film than I usually shoot: 6x12cm. The largest my enlarger can print is 6x7cm, so I have to either crop the image, or adjust the camera to shoot smaller format (it can be converted to 6x9cm which is still too large or 6x6cm which is just right). Getting 6x12 processed and scanned at a lab is more expensive if I shoot color. I think I will just print cropped, I think it will still be pretty cool, and cheaper. Still the larger negatives looked really cool when I pulled them out of the tank.

Actually I had this idea of printing two 6x6 prints of a single 6x12 neg (one of each half). That could look pretty cool too even though you'd end up cutting through the highest quality part of the image in the middle.
