    I use film now, but paper is a lot cheaper when you are figuring out a new camera. I just use Ilford Multigrade RC paper. I get the 8x10 sheets and cut them down into (4) 4x5 sheets. Your image will obviously be negative, so to get the positive you will need to scan them and then invert them in Photoshop. The chemistry for developing is pretty inexpensive too.

    • so you don't really need to develop them via a store orso..digdre
    • I have a little room in our basement that I turned into a dark room. The whole set up is pretty rough, but it works. So, you don't need to use a shop but you obviously need to develop.allysin

    • No idea how.. hahadigdre
    • do you have a place where you could set up a make-shift darkroom? I can walk you through it. A closet maybe?allysin
    • or, digdre maybe try a 35mm pinhole camera. That film is easier to drop off at the store for dev.allysin
