Portrait Euryscop Series III #4 @f9 on full plate film

The Voigtlaender Euryscop is from 1899, camera 1929, truck 1939, photographer..........scary old. A guy was walking up the street with a 12 pack. Apparently I was more entertaining than whatever was on TV.

Film format; 6½X8½ inch.

film scan. not printed.

So what is the film plate? Is this something you have to make or you can buy them?

It has film holders like an 8X10, but smaller. They are hard to find. No one has made new ones since 1923. I guess Chamonix is making them now but I don't know if they used the old Eastman standard, ie. interchangeable with the old ones. I cut the film out of 9.5" width 125' long rolls of Kodak Aerial Recon Panatomic X, or Plus X. Ilford does a cut once a year, but I'm too cheap to buy the lovely Ilford.

What I find so fascinating is that an image like this, taken in the age of the iphone, can without pretence or trickery, look like it was taken 60 years ago prior. An inspiration for my own work.
