Mini Wet-Plate Camera Kit (Upgraded Version 2!)
Mini Wet-Plate Camera Kit
Experience 19th-century photography in a footprint you can hold in one hand. This ultra-mini wet-plate camera brings the complete collodion process down to miniature scale.
Built with a genuine brass lens and true focusing capability (not a pinhole!), this kit lets you shoot, sensitize, develop, and fix your own quartz glass plates from start to finish. The PLA-crafted body, plate holder, silver bath box, and dual developing/fixing boxes give you everything needed to run the full wet-plate workflow, while four interchangeable waterhouse stops let you fine-tune your exposures.
Complete with 10 quartz glass plates, 20 droppers, tweezers, gloves, and a cleaning cloth — everything you need to get started is included.
