2001-12-21 Thread Łukasz Kacperczyk

Found this on the cameramakers list Try this: obtain some glass cut to size (this can be from your friendly glass shop or from picture frames - I get mine at garage sales). Go to your local auto parts emporium and get a tube of valve grinding compound. Squirt some between two pieces of glass, and

My experience is also with printmaking and photography. The editioning process in printmaking is generally perfectly sensible and straight forward. The darn plate wears out, or something like that. To me, one of the wonderful side effects of photography is that it is a 'democratic medium'

I have an old DIY (Do It Yourself) Manual from the 1920's, I think, that shows you how to make a quarter plate camera from scratch including bellows, boards, dark slides, frame, brass fittings, etc, etc. It is quite a process and you need to be quite skilled with woodworking tools. However, with

I've used sand-paper on acrylic plastic - Don't think its nearly as bright as groundglass - but I've only used groudglass in a lens camera - haven't compared them properly. It may work for something cheap and easy. Gord On Thu, 20 Dec 2001, G.Penate wrote: - Original Message - From:
