Made some adjustments to the design of the adapter to mount my 1850's Voigtlander lens to my Calumet 4x5 camera.
Since drilling holes in 3d-printed materials is ill-advised (the bit can melt the material instead of carving it out), the bolt holes for the mounting flange are now designed in. I've also introduced a recess at the opening for the lens barrel, as the flange has a small ridge there, and I extended the barrel sleeve for better grip.

Spent my evening modeling a lens board/adapter to get my mid-19th century Petzval lens mounted to my 4x5 camera.
Intentionally modeling it pretty robust to hold the weight of this very old lens.

Silvergrain Classics Magazine and Erik Schlicksbier interviewed me about my wet plate portraits and artificial intelligence. This resulted in an exciting discussion.

I put together a short video about the antique slide projector I picked up a few weeks ago, and about the very special lens that was attached to it.

This is my nomination for Americana. Good thing I brought my graduated filters. #largeformatphotography
Hit one of my favorite car graveyards today with some Portra 160 and HP5. We'll see if it made lugging this thing up here worth it. And, only had two mishaps, shockingly. #largeformatphotography #believeinfilm

I measured 120mm F1 on that projection lens and mounted it on my camera. The plates I shot with it are on eBay ( eBay.mhaustria.com ) and I give one of them away to my patreon supporters ( patreon.mhaustria.com ). That project was lots of fun ( https://youtu.be/dXMn61ZcQjo ) #lensporn #tintype #ambrotype #analogphotography #largeformatphotography #handmade #wetplate #nassplatte #mhaustria #keepfilmalive

Masimba - Priest Tintype - I always look forward to do portrait sessions with Masimba. Talking time, going for a walk and creating art with another artist. A great way to work and spend time. #tintype #portraitphotography #portrait #analogphotography #largeformatphotography #handmade #tessar #priest #collodionprocess #nassplatte #kollodium

Thing is he did it almost all in camera (4*5), with masking off 3/4 of the frame each time (and built a rotating set).
It was bloody brilliant, I want to attempt something vaguely similar in B&W but this guy genuinely really inspired me .
Plus he sent me a promo print years after I got in touch. Which has been lost in umpteen house moves.

Thrift store find partially cleaned up and repaired. Needs a few more adjustments and a lot more cleaning, but still a good find for $25.
No film holders and no lens, though.

Tempted to try some large format infrared shooting soon, because I apparently hate having any money left over....
Cheap square IR filters, anyone?

Paradoxically, in a dying world, we are caught in a balancing act between reality and escapism. Like an after-image -- a fast fading visual impression -- we’ve lost touch with our own ability to make sense of our survival. Our forward looking optimism dissolved at the end of the twentieth century, leaving us bewitched by a sense of the limited time we have left to exist on Earth.
