Thanks! Yes, Chamonix. Voightlander #8. One stop down (f5.6?) for 1 second. I'm the guy who bought eddie gunks' lens. I hope I don't drop it.

I've been victimized by eddie also

Can't wait to see more from the Chamonix. Looks like you might have to by a digital camera to get those plates in 1's and 0's domain.

My first 16x20 plate. A few hiccups, but generally acceptable to me.

Ed,
Still such a beautiful subject, a beautiful plate to behold . I'm sure you will soon show us your next best one . Perfection requires imperfection right? Hugo and Eddie will be very pleased to see this one . Thanks for showing us your first mammoth plate.

Ed,

I am very pleased to see this and I have been waiting to see your 16x20 plates ever since you had your 16x20 camera.

I can see myself learning this with you down the road with my 16x20 camera.

Thanks,
Hugo

Thank you! I'm very excited to get underway. The Chamonix is a delight to use, Hugo

[Dave Wooten]

Wow! Really nice!

[Craig Tuffin]

Terrific plate Ed!
The Chamonix is an awesome camera to use at this size. I do have lens envy though

[Dave Wooten]

Question for platers, can one have too much yellow or orange light in the dark box? I d like to make a "ilarge window

[life_in_sepia]

Thank you!

Dave, re "too much light", I don't think so. When I previously used a darkroom, I used a BRIGHT red light hanging from the ceiling and never had any issues.

More steps. Plates #s 2 and 3. 16x20. Tintypes. Chamonix and Voigtlander #8.
