I had good results using a multi-grade RC paper in a 20x24 pinhole camera.
I place either 40 or 60cc Y taped behind the pinhole.
The negative worked well contacting with another sheet to produce a positive
of 'normal contrast'. I have not however done any comprehensive testing for
filtration.
Good luck.
