Lea Formula #3
40.0mL Collodion 4%w/v
22.8mL Diethyl Ether
37.2mL Ethanol 95%
1.08g Cadmium Iodide
0.41g Cadmium Bromide
Makes 100mL, so scale up as needed. It takes several months to ripen, but it will last for a year or two without going bad. I make a large amount and store in a dark cool space.
UVP-X is proprietary, so I rather doubt the recipe has been published. You can buy it from UV Photographics.

Looks good to me, never heard of it
I am now going to check LFPF Wet Plate thread for a list of suppliers
Thank you very much, UVP-X was a novelty for me, I never used this formula and I don’t even know its exact composition.
If you know anything, I'd be happy for him.

I've been preparing to make collodion plates for almost a year, and a couple of months ago I started making plates. First in 4x5 (with a Speed Graphic), then in 5x7/13x18 with a couple of cameras (a Gundlach Korona View and a German reisekamera made by Konrad Seitz in Nürnberg. I hope to jump up to 18x24 with a Soviet FK made in Leningrad I have. I've been using only Old Workhorse premixed collodion by Franalog in Germany. By now I've even manufactured myself a dark box out of a plastic container, which barely has room for 4x5 only plates.
Here are some of my plates:

carbo73 these are very nice!!
Indeed! Some of them make time go backwards...
The first two plates I have made in nearly a year. My technique has suffered, but I'm still rather pleased with the images.
