HARMAN technology Harman Direct Reviews
Pricey, but looks great
shot one image with a 30 year pinhole camera and i'll be damned if it didn't look excellent. f/128 indoors, 2.5 hour exposure, 3 minute development: sweet!
Works great!
The ASA is a bit low for my needs, but I just had to add expose times. Also used this for old 120 positives I had and they worked good. A bit expensive but the uniqueness is worth it.
Love it for pinhole, but availability issues?
This paper is great for pinhole work. I use it in workshops. It has a little less exposure latitude than standard photo papers but my students are able to get it dialed in pretty quickly. There has been some availability issues that I hope are resolved soon. Especially with the 4x5 size.
Truly amazing paper...
For photo paper, this has great tonal range. Prints are fantastic and rich. Buy this stuff as much as possible to keep the ball rolling!
Wonderful Paper
Shot on Deardorff 8x10 and on a Vageeswari 11x14. Very happy with results. Use conventional paper developer and fixer. I love the high contrast. Seems that Ilford is still trying to get the formula to produce this paper. Hope they start making it again soon.
Good for fun!
I used this with an 8x10 camera instead of using film. It was awesome - it was easier to load than film because it could be done with a safe light on, and it could be developed under safe light as well. The only downfall is that it isn't a negative - the image you get is the image you get - but it can still be scanned in and manipulated and printed, so all in all it's at least fun to play with.
Dries curly but works great.
I got this for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. I didn't finish my giant project in time so I used an 8x10 pinhole backup. Works great at ISO 3 in bright sunlight. Near sunset I added 10% time for the more red light but it could have used a little more. The image is my 2021 WPPD entry.
Fun, but experimental
Acquired several antique plate/120 roll film cameras and DPP is an excellent medium to keep these cameras which use old formats alive. The paper is very easy to cut, shoot, and develop, however it is really only suited for experimental use. Why? Since it only reacts to blue/UV light your implied ISO can very wildly. Light meters are panchromatic and will not give you accurate readings. So you'll not only have to measure the amount of light present, but then estimate to what that degree the light contains blue/UV light. With a Gossen Luna Pro I've had the same light measurements, but had the effective ISO vary from 3 to 20 depending on the light source (warm glo incandescent bulbs are ~3 indoors, whereas a cree 6k led flashlight worked out to iso 20) This means for basically every shot with different lighting conditions you have to do some test shots to figure out the working ISO. Not a big deal if you like tinkering, but I wouldn't expect to be able to nail dynamic lighting conditions (say in a city with direct light, indirect light, and shadows) on the first go. Still extremely fun, especially with vintage gear. If I could figure out a way to get accurate light metering it would be 5/5 all the way. In the test images below you can get a little bit of a feel for how colors are represented. Blues, reds, dark browns, and I believe greens all show very dark.
