I shot paper negatives with an old Kodak 3A folder from before 1920. That meniscus lens was awesome. The only problem I had with paper negs is that they are not panchromatic. Slow effective ISO and to get a good gray scale they need some filtration making them shoot at about ISO 4. But incredibly sharp. Now they would make great negatives to scan on a good flatbed.
