That's where I could definitely see a big advantage to using them-- if  
you wanted something much bigger (like 20x24).  That would almost  
certainly save you some money, not having to buy into the ultra big  
printer, ultra big transparencies, etc.  I have a 20x24 pinhole camera  
I made, though I did use 20x24 film (made by Bergger), but I could  
have more easily used the paper negatives.  Processing a 20x24 piece  
of film in the dark wasn't fun.  I still have the camera, so maybe  
I'll go try out some paper negatives with it. :)
