I've added Guy Bellingham to the list of photographers in post #1 of the Resources thread Large Format Channels on YouTube. There are two posts about him in the thread at https://www.largeformatphotography.i...=1#post1649357
The fellow behind the YouTube channel Harv Video/Audio Stuff has made a detailed 23 minute video about Mr. Bellingham and his tintype process. I didn't include the video in the Resources thread, but some people may be interested in it. The camera that Bellingham uses in the video is an 8x10 Toyo with 4x5 back (don't know which model, but the back says Sakai Special Camera Mfg Co Ltd) and the lens is a 450mm f/4.5 Wallet and Hermagis petzval made in 1850. He also talks about a 360mm f/3 petzval made in 1907, and a 1924 8x10 Cooke "Knuckler" Portrait Anastigmat (4.5kg/9.9lb).
Bellingham uses a Speed Graphic Film Pack Adapter as a holder for a 4x5 wet plate, and a Sony a7R II with 60mm macro lens to make digital photos of his tintypes. Thirty of Bellingham's tintype photographs are on his website at https://guybellinghamphotography.co.uk/tintypes/
