  7. Re: How NOT to Do Large Format, Illustrated -- Part Deux

    Good idea using the pick, I never thought about it and I manufacture them! I use an old piece of 4x5 film trimmed to a semi point that gives a better handle, is thinner, and is always available.

    Try Pyro PMK with the HP5 film, the best acutance and edge effects ever, full film speed and it doesn't block up. A PITA to develop in trays but you will get what you are looking for. Works for me!
