Okay.

  1. Do I need a special camera to do tintype?
  2. If not, how can I get started taking pictures on my Sinar F2?
  3. I read somewhere that, at least in the old days, the pictures had to be processed immediately following exposure. Is this still the case?
  4. How different is the process for developing tintypes from developing a 35mm/4x5 negative?

Thanks.
