after 9 years since i started this thread, I finally find the motivation to work on a 8x10 back adaptor for my Century Studio Camera. The idea is to use the 8x10 back from my Eastman No 2 camera on...
i also think John's camera looks great! I like that the front rails knobs are also wooden :)

I bought this quarter plate camera off ebay a few years back. It was a bad purchase but long story short, I kept it instead of sending back to the seller.

i do have that thought. i can replace the light bulb with an array of RGB LEDs which can be individual controlled. in this manner i can do selective burning or dodging. Then add a red light filter...
I wrote a blog post and did a video on this project and here it is . In the end I was able to project my 4x5 slides in a very dark room for my own viewing but I am happy enough.
Think of the...
I was quite inspired by him then and of course still amazed by what he built and shot.
His website is gone and never heard from him for a while.
The other one is Chris McCaw. Equally inspiring....
Hi Michael

i was kicking around this idea where the camera can be slimmer by used of a mirror. I won't need the processing to be done in the box. I just need to be able to keep...
that is a very nice plate. I will try to get a bottle of FOMA emulsion to try too.
My local lab in Singapore uses Fujihunt 6 baths E6 chemicals for their processing. I approached them to see if I can get some to develop my 8x10 Ektachrome slides by myself.
I bought the 8x10...

Best results (yeah I shifted the...
Good information. Indeed there is sodium chloride listed in the Formulary's intensifier MSDS too. I look around the Darkroom Cookbook book but did not find a intensifier formula listed using this...
thanks for all the good advice.
Safety is always number 1 when handling chemicals even more when dealing with dichromate and hydrochloric acid.
freestyle is selling a powder kit too here...
Trying out intensification myself in this video
Intensification is the process to increase contrast or density of a film or print through the use of chemicals. In this video I explored how can I...
i just relogin to https://collodion.com/ forum site too. 6 years ago there isn't much commercial wetplate related products and that site gave me a lot of ideas for DIY projects including ULF cameras...

Sharing a simple flap shutter built for this ULF lens - a 36" f6.3 aerial lens.
My requirement is that it need to be able to allow to open or close it from a distance when shooting my self...
Thank you. Been around here for a whule but only get to do youtube videos to share my experiments on film photography. Good to hear abt the darkbox build. The suitcase design definitely save more ...
i was gifted a 36inches f6.3 aerial lens by a friend. It was a huge lens weighing 8kg. The story was that a few years ago, my friend came across a store and saw the owner collected a few vintage...
yes, the damaged filter ring is on my good lens. The lens that has the fuzzy issue is not damaged in anyway that I can see and can be opened up. Also this lens is bought used from a Ebay Japan...

I opened the front element and there is a shim. my other lens has a bent filter thread so I could not open to do a comparison.
Otherwise I made sure all the lens elements are...

However for the 2nd lens...
thank you all for the comments, I will check out for first surface mirror as suggested.
Lovely demo. I never try hydrogen peroxide bleach before but might give it a go. Nice 8x10 developing tray used at 06:25. is that a DIY tank?
In making reversal shots (positive image)from my Afghan Box Camera, the photo will be a mirror image. So I built a mirror scope to fit onto my lens so that I can make the photo to be of the right...
