very helpful introduction for a complete noob. Do the film plate holders fit a standard 4x5 camera back-like on your graflex camera, or is some modification required? Thanks
Good video, other details like, how long each plate was in the developer and do you then use stop bath and fixer like normal negatives, would be useful information to me.
That was very helpful. I wonder if one couldn't adapt a regular sheet film holder using leaf springs. Thank you.
I’ve seen people making sheet film holders into dry plate holders. It can be done

Yes the plate holders will fit any 4x5 (or 8x10 if you buy that size holder) camera. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Showing examples of the final image would be helpful.
Thanks! Those first two in the video were the results. I showed them first in case anyone got impatient lol

The time in the developer is 5 min, water stop bath and my fixing time is 5 min.
Does dry plate portraits have the same haunting look as a wet plate portrait?
Not quite! Dry plate photos look fairly normal. A lot deeper contrast usually though.
