@@mhaustria I'm currently modifying an a6000 for one I got from the Ukraine, they aren't very common in the US, they were made for European x-ray machines. The flange distance for focus is 3mm which means I have to buy a new hot mirror that is thinner to actually get an image on the sensor. That lens though that you have at 125mm is one I have never seen in person or on market. The 100mm f/.73 is about 9.9 kg, very heavy. I imagine the one in your video is larger. I love all your videos by the way, it great inspiration for my 2ft x 2ft tintype camera.

@optoform50 3 года назад

Great work. I am more of an optical engineer than a photographer. Your measurement of F is quite accurate, but The field stop of the lens is measured by looking through the lens at a bright flat background, and using the measuring scale that you have, measure the diameter of bright circle of light being seen through the lens (at maximum aperture). You could measure this at the film plane or further back. The F/D formula would then give you the actual f number.

@mhaustria 3 года назад

wow, thanks so much for your explanation!! When I look through the lens on a flat background, how far should the lens be away from that background?

@@mhaustria if you really mount on 35mm FF, the image circle is much smaller, so the requirement of lines/mm on the lens is much greater to resolve any reasonable sharpness.

Creating the chemicals for the collodion wet plate process is not included. But this anyway is done only if needed. Silver nitrate needs bigger maintenance twice a year. I’m thinking of doing some videos about that too. Portraits on smaller plates take about an hour. The big camera with this lens needs a lot of love.

How much power does the strobe need to have for an exposure for plates? Is 1000 watts enough?

@mhaustria 2 года назад

It depends what lens you use and what size your plate is. For example, I use about 3000w strobe power with a 85cm softbox and a F3 lens on a 13x18 plate. Here I used about 6kw. You can use a 1000w strobe with a std metal reflector and a 4.5 lens for 13x18cm plates. Maybe you need even less power with fresh collodion.

Great question! I am working here with iso 0.5 to iso 1 - depending on the age of the collodion. My emulsion is only blue sensitive. At f 4.5 and the bellow extension I get a good idea what I need. The rest experience and gut feeling. I also have a bit of room to get it right during development. That’s what I love about my work. I feel what I shoot.
