This is great to make glass plates for the 18x24cm Russian FKD cameras. Last time I used mine, I just pointed the digital slr at the plate glass under the camera cloth...

There's some potential for me to reuse those ancient rolls of 16mm KII I'm saving for camera testing...

Whoo-hoo!

That is totally bitchin'!

I might have to build me another 4x5 just to try this out.

Thanks for posting, Paul.

If your lazy, Photographers' Formulary sells ready made Liquid Emulsion that does the same thing. Kind of takes all the fun out if you ask me.

Interesting......and since my dad has refurbished the plate camera he made back in the 50's and found some "blank" glass plates.....
The government says that by 2010 30% of us will be fat....I am merely a trendsetter :)
