As punishment I will forever call you "captain" and will post quarter-plate images as LF!!
I was taught that anything 4x5 or larger was large format. By that definition quarter plate is medium format. However, having said that, I've found that quarter plate negatives are the smallest that I can use to get grain free sharp enlargements up to 20x24 inches with my darkroom equipment. Regardless of whether it's medium or large format, I use Speed Graphics, Graflex SLR's, and my Ansco view camera, all in quarter plate, as if they are large format. As far as I'm concerned the prints look like large format prints.
I love the camera, but I'm not sure the quarter-plate negs will be viable. I'm trying to find suitable donor parts to modify this with a 5x4 back.
I started large format photography with a 3x4 Speed Graphic. Even in the late '70s it was an obsolete format, but definitely 'large'. It's a sheet-film format, too, so I'd say that it qualifies for inclusion; and anyone willing to work with it should be welcome here.
Thanks Mark. I need to find some film sheaths or something to use the original plate holders. Struggling to come up with a low cost solution.
For film try Kodak Electron Image film. It's 3 1/4" x 4", and will generally work in film holders made for quarter plate film. Expose it at 10ASA and develop in Diafine.
I can get Adox film no problem, but worried about putting them in the holders without a sheath.
In England if we aren't sure of the gender we use "they" or "their". It is non-gendered and polite. "It" or "Its" would not be used for a human, only animals or objects.
If you can only find glass plate holders you will need film sheaths. 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 film sheaths come up on Ebay fairly often. I have brought many film sheaths in various sizes there.
