The Cameras
Depending on your desired photo, I will use one of these cameras.
All are vintage cameras adapted for wet-plate photography.
A Zeiss IKON camera
A Zeiss IKON camera from the early 1900s with a C. P. Goerz Anastigmat lens Serie III Dagor F=135mm mounted on a Unicum shutter from Bausch & Lomb.
This camera is for 3.5 x 5.5-inch plates. I use this camera for tintypes.
Junior Sanderson from 1907
A Junior Sanderson (from 1907, based on the serial number) with an Ensing Anastigmat Series VI mounted on an Ensing shutter.
The camera has a mahogany body and a red leather bellows.
The plates (for tintypes) are 3.2 x 4 inches.
FKD 13×18 Camera from 1969
An FKD 13×18 Camera adapted for wet plate. It is a 13 x 18cm format camera made in Ukraine in 1969 with an Industar 51 210mm f/4.5 lens.
