Hi Nicolas,

Argentum should be near the top alphabetically. I've fixed this part

I'm not sure if anyone else on the forum uses a Silvestri. Since they have had no mention and are still in production, the T30 and S4 [shooting 4" x 5 ") are still listed on their website and Mr Silvestri's company still services produces all the specialist helicoids; film back adapters despite its recent foray into digital:

The Silvestri cameras are quite unique in this range - rather like Mike Walker's extruded resin camera bodies - the Silvestri cameras are made of military grade billeted solid plank like aluminium rather than wood with metal fixtures.



Wet plate and collodion users are getting some representation on this list too:

The Black Art Woodcraft Cameras (USA) make traditional (after English makers) tailboard plate cameras which can also be adapted for dry plate and film up to 20" x 24":

this is their 8" x 10" Ross field camera (no movements):

Good luck with the encyclopaedic effort!
