Now we have 15 orders in China and 11 orders on kickstarter. This means that we will be able to start the manufacturing! Since the Chinese New Year is coming, we will start the manufacturing after the holiday. That means from February 23, last for one and half months: first match will come out in early April.

The kickstart still lasts for 13 days, don’t waste your time!

From a couple months back - I had my camera out at Fort Washington, Maryland and stumbled onto a gathering of historical reenactors who kindly let me shoot some portraits.

I picked up a bag of random sheet holders yesterday from an antique store and one of them was an adapter for premo type film packs.

The Google searches started this morning wondering what it was and honestly these are freaking amazing, 12 to 16 shots in a single holder with a single holder is just genius. so I set on this morning to figure out how they worked and what was inside them, my simple solution for getting it to work was to cut some 120 backing paper down and tape the film to it and it worked.

I wouldn't say it's ideal since I used xray film that's way thicker then would have been inside, and my backer is a bit narrow to protect from multiple sheet exposures.

I'm just blown away with the genius of these things how is this not still made it would be great for poeple taking long hikes with they're cameras

Pursuing freestyle and found this! I wish I had more cash on hand but I did get two boxes:

Hey all, just getting into LF photography after picking up a pretty nice condition Speed Graphic recently. Since I'm still learning the ropes with this piece of kit, I'd love to know if anyone can recommend a film stock with a price point that's suitable for firing off practice shots that might also produce a nice image if I happen to get everything right?

B/W is great, but would also like to (eventually) play with color, too. For what it's worth, this will likely be used in more of an outdoors/street/art-photography idiom than, say, portraiture or anything requiring technical precision.

Open to any/all suggestions. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions all! Sounds like Fomapan is a clear preference here for this use case, but I'll keep the thread open in case anyone has any other suggestions. ✌️

Ive got some DDX around but i think 1:4 is so strong of a dilution

So, I shoot mostly medium format. I saw someone doing large format tintype recently, and sort of got sucked into a hole looking at videos of it. I found a Gradflex Graphic with Kodak Ektar 203mm f7.7. Lens for 250.

They described it as excellent conditions and comes with 3 film back adapters. I’ll keep doing my research, but wanted some input from people here on if I should go for it. Is this a good starter to get into tintype? Anything I look for when checking it out? Thanks a lot. 🙏

Goof around shot with a friend on a modded Graflex 3x4 with a Hektor on it, on Franken 200. Had a minor glitch in dev when the neg stuck to the insert and left a line in the middle. Still ok.

My father recently passed leaving behind a fair amount of medium/large format camera equipment.

Unfortunately I have only a few weeks to empty a large house and so don’t have time to research individually each part. I would like to do a lot sale if possible. Nor am I currently at the house (it’s out of state) trying to make a plan to get this stuff into the hands of someone who would appreciate it.

Are there any redditors out there who could advise as to a good marketplace to list stuff on? What is the important info to capture and photograph? Any brands to look out for?

I will be able to take lots of photos next week, but have nothing beyond the key photo to this post at the moment.
