Maaaaaan, that's cooool. I would love to dabble in wet and dry plate photography one day.

Can you go into your process and price breakdown of such things? I know there are some wet plate kits that are basically the same price as inexpensive 4x5 film, but I'm not quite ready to spend the time for it yet.

That is really cool OP. The closest thing I have done this rudimentary was a cyanotype. Great to see someone is tinkering with the archaic ways.

Full frame camera has better resolution and dynamic range than film

Have you done wet plate? Dry plate is the whole reason I got into photography a year ago. Started with medium format so I can learn the basics of exposure, and developing film. Have just bought my camera to use for wetplate. Then will work to dryplate.

>here’s some pics from late 1800 early 1900s England on dry plates.

i bought most of indigrients via internet platform (regional one), about 50$ for chemical ingredients, and about 100$ for equpimernt (like magnetic stirrer). I keep myself as far as i can from Photographic kit and things for photography, because they always are few times more expensive.
even glass i get from local glazier.
only thing witch i bought specialized was photo - grade gelatin.
If you want to read more check:
Lost light art
and light farm
the cheapest way to make your own emulsion is cyanotype - don't buy a kit (cost much more)
i hate captha on these site,
I will write you more if you are interesed

Full frame cost much more, and need better skills to make. I also made 6x9 camera by myself
