THE WORKSHOP CAMERA
The workshop cameras are 5 inches by 7 inches by 4
inches deep. The pin hole is .020 inch in diameter giving an f/stop
of 200. They are made of corrugated cardboard. The pin hole is
made with a number 10 needle in a piece of aluminum soda can.
We used Ilford 5 x 7 Multigrade IV
RC paper for both negatives and prints. With Ilford developer
and rapid fix, the processing time is exceptionally fast (1 minute
to develop, 30 seconds to fix). There is no running water in the
darkroom and water is at a premium so we use a three bath wash,
2 minutes in each. The first bath is an Orbit Wash solution,
the second two washes are plain water.
