great video, one use for this that you didn't mention, is to copy polaroids, tintypes and other positive pictures, even slides, to get them in negative form, to reproduce in the darkroom, using traditional enlarger techniques; as this camera makes a great photo scanner (similar idea to the Negative supply photo scanning system, but analogue based).
at 11:56 there is a fix for this; you cut the paper longer, by a cm or so, and then cut 1" from one side with curly scissors < ; then cut to size, straight, until you reach the curly section, ie: like the notch code in film, and if you do it, so like film the top right is the location of the notches, then you can't go wrong, film OR this paper, emulsion is notch at top right hand corner, also good for inside the camera. this can be done in the std darkroom under safelights, where you can see the 'glossy' side.
When I saw how you were enlarging, my jaw dropped. I cant believe I never thought of this. You are a literal genius. Literally threw my phone on the ground and had an existential crisis. I am trying this now.
yes and no. it would take some extra chemicals but you can't do it in the box. you can use direct positive paper. a reversal process is more interessing with colour. for both we have videos.
yes, lookup RA-4 reversal, or the slide/transparency dev. process (E6), essentially you double the process, one is the std B&W dev. the next converts this to positive, by replacing the silver with other metal ions and develops them, inverting the tones.{requiring 5/6 trays to do it}; just not enough space inside this camera. for more info, lookup Mat Marrash, he has some videos on this, on his channel Large Format Friday.
Couldn't you build a box around a polaroid land pack camera and so the same thing? (Using a ground glass in a old cartridge to focus and then another cartridge with the paper?
@@DoctorMikeReddy that is correct. that is what the Mobile phone app is called. you can downlload it for free to photograph the negative. it will convert it to a positive.
very novel, to use a 'photo copy' idea; from enlargers, and apply it to the process, not RA-4 reversal, as some photographers do, to paper, OR glass plates, but to take a negative, then re-take for a positive.

What a great video explaining the box camera! Thank you!
That's cool, I like the focusing system.

did you try it by now?
Gracias por el video maestro! Detallada explicación.
Great video, thanks very much
You use the same Papier? For negative and positive?
This is amazing, I want one of these camera
We have availability again :)
Could you reverse the image to create the positive? Another chemical to do the reversal?
yes and no. it would take some extra chemicals but you can't do it in the box. you can use direct positive paper. a reversal process is more interessing with colour. for both we have videos.

check that video out. I build one like that. but you can do negative/positive process as the lens is too wide angle
What is the Kodak app for seeing the positive of a negative? 7:17
Kodak mobile film scanner (was in the description!)
