      @@sneeuwwolf1176 I mean yeah, you could Caffenol process but it only works with B&W film but not C41 E-6 or ECN-2 because it will not render colors correctly and the Caffenol process is not as good. If you want a more affordable option, I suggest just switching to shooting 35mm and trying to look for the cheaper film stock.

      Maybe using instax wide film instead. Using photographic paper will be very impractical. You need a changing bag and a way to keep the shutter open for a longer time. I did a land camera conversion to photopaper. It worked.

      Sure ILFORD MULTIGRADE RC DELUXE. You also can use Fibre based (FB instead of RC) but it is less easy to develop in my opinion. Or I don´t like it as much. You can cut RC paper, stick it, write on it, very very versatile. But be sure to keep it away from any light. Either open box in dark room or in pitch dark. Even the smallest amount of light can spoil the whole lot. One of my other video´s will tell you how to make a darkroom and what type of safelight (red bicycle light) to use. Have fun!:-)

Darkroom: put photograph in 1 bath with caffenol or regular developer, then in a rinsing bath then a bath with fixer in it. Then rinse/wash the picture to get the residue off. After fixer they are ready for sunlight. All baths should be at 20 degree celcius. How long to develop depends on the developer used and some other viariables.

A photography shop won't be able to develop them unfortunately or it must be a specialized shop. Don't worry caffenol development is super easy and fun.

I mean 120 rolls use a plastic winding core that is reusable but Aps is not reusable I think? And the Aps camera can't handle slow shutterspeeds and bulb mode I presume? You need a way to control the shutterspeed. 120 camera's are cheap 9-15 euros. So I suggest going that route.

    Some comments, on the video and on the previous comments:
    - of course it has to be done in a dark room with a red light
    - with Ilford RC 4 you will have a negative picture
    - if you want a positive picture you have to use a direct positive paper (Ilford do it too)
    - it's a common practice with large format
    - it's still expensive for middle format
    - yes you can find and develop easily 120 films
    - but what about other old formats like 101, 118, 130, etc ?
    - even with 120, 220, 116, 616 formats it worth a try, because direct positive paper and films have a very different result
    - can be tricky in some cameras due to the thickness of the paper

The fun thing about pinhole camera´s is that you can use any box, be it metal, cardboard or whatever.

If you click on my channel you will find video's on how to develop the pictures and how to build a darkoom. Of course if you loaded (or unloaded) the camera in sunlight then the paper will be spoiled/ gone.

    Uh...for the amount of time and cost you put into cutting, taping, marking, and rolling photo paper, you could buy a roll of Arista and develop it at home...assuming your time is worth half minimum wage. You'd also have the versatility of different types of film, speed, and look. You'd also have negatives, which you could use to make multiple prints.

      So you need to load the photographic paper into the camera in total darkness or under a safelight. Making sure there is absolutely no light entering the darkroom. If you want I suggest cutting a small square piece of paper and put it in the camera. Do this either with dedicated safelight or red led bicycle light.
