Julian H Posted February 18, 2018 Share #62 Posted February 18, 2018 OMG, respect on the car mounted set-up! I am just about to start using my Gandolfi Variant 5x4 again. Immediately after I bought it I regretted not going straight to 10x8 for contact prints. I have no intention of getting an enlarger for 5x4 and contacts are too small for me. A 5x7 contact might just be big enough though and my lenses have plenty of coverage... so maybe one day? The reason for the recent impetus is a mate has just bought a property with the ruins of a mill built in the early 1800's in his garden. Ample photo opportunities. I bought some Harman Direct Positive paper just for a bit of fun. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willeica Posted February 18, 2018 Share #63 Posted February 18, 2018 Dunk, I look forward to seeing the output from the upcoming portrait shoot. I am still thinking about a use for my two Grubb Aplanatic lenses made in Dublin in the mid 19th Century. Perhap's the results from Tony's cameras might encourage me. It would be nice also to see some landscapes shot with these cameras. William 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted February 18, 2018 Share #64 Posted February 18, 2018 Hi William, I was planning to hitch up TW's Dallmeyer Petzval lens to my Leica SL until discovered that the lens' 'Petzval image footprint' would be 'lost' on any 135 FF 'miniature' format. However, on Tony Lovell's half plate Sanderson it should be fine. Do you have a suitable camera for use with your Grubb lenses? If not, s/b easy to find one at Photographica; and might even be possible to find a camera which is contemporary with the lenses?

Keith (M) Posted February 19, 2018 Share #65 Posted February 19, 2018 This morning I visited my friend Tony Lovell who is a wet plate specialist and uses several LF cameras e.g. 5x4, 8x10, 16x10, 20x16 and 20x24 . This is Tony's refurbished Hunter Penrose 20x24 … note focusing screen grab handles. Tony made the focusing screen. AGL-Hunter-Penrose-2-PPD-FS-rslf.jpg L1060984-ppdFS-rslf.jpg Next weekend I'm planning to document a wet plate portrait session with my Leica C compact (used for above images) when a TLF member has volunteered to sit for some portraits. Regards dunk Fascinating - thanks for posting these and the other photos. Look forward to seeing the results. BTW, the roof rack weight limit on a Mondeo estate is 100kg...

BTW, the roof rack weight limit on a Mondeo estate is 100kg... You're correct but the weight limit applies to a vehicle whilst travelling. The platform / camera / tripod / photographer total weight is on a static car and so far no problems. dunk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Nice job. I used an HPL process canera for a while in the 60s. Camera ran on 2ft or so tracks with a fixed copy board on the end and arc lamps for illumination. Lens for process work (a dallmeyer I think) was much too contrasty for portraiture!

Ambro51 Posted December 7, 2018 Share #78 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Yeah these wet plate UULF format guys really get carried away. My largest build was this 32x36 monster, anoutb3 years ago. The bellows extended to 7 feet. It retracts and folds to a Big box handled by two men. Welcome, dear visitor!

Yes … no diaphragm. Await advice from Tony Lovell as to whether he is adding a diaphragm or Waterhouse stop … he is also using other shorter focal length Leitz EPIS lenses for LF imaging. dunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
