I got a 30x40 camera and want to shoot glass plates.
For testing the camera I made some shots on paper to check for proper focus and lightleaks etc.
I used paper graded 3 and together with the Symmar lens the results are much to harsh. As next step I wanted to try some premixed emulsion like liquid light which is also graded 3, but now I am not sure how to get more grey into the images.
Is there a possibility to mix the emulsion with gelatine or something to get grade 2 or 1 or can I use some filter on the lens to lower contrast?
Thanks and and Regards
Martin
