Speaking of which... and at the risk of starting a deluge of replies! I
wonder if anybody has a suggestion as to a particular colour slide film with
good exposure latitude (35mm format).

I would like to make some colour pinhole shots for projection, I've done
this once before and had only one useful exposure from 36, disappointing!
(can't remember what film I used but I think it was a fuji film)

I've had more success by turning my usual B&W 4x5s into 35mm by scanning the
image and getting a friend of mine to make 35mm slides of these with her
computer 35mm projection unit. It is a bit time consuming and she's too
busy to do lots. I'd also like to make some colour pictures but I can't
afford colour 4x5s so I'd like to have another crack at the 35mm direct
approach.

I should think the projector enlargement will substantially abstract a 35mm
pinhole image somewhat but I think that might be fun as these are images to
be used for atmospheric projections at nightclubs.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks.

Tom
