Shot on @ilfordphoto Direct Positive paper (ISO 3) in the @intrepidcamera 8x10 with my Schneider-Kreuznach convertible 180mm lens with the front element removed, so working as a 355mm lens. 1 second at f/22.

A couple of months ago, I bought a vintage Petzval lens with the thought that I would mount it on the 1902 Century Studio No. 5 5x7 camera I bought in November. It took a couple of months, but I finally got it mounted. This was one of my first test shots. It’s on Ilford Direct Positive paper, and shot in a #foldio 3 portable studio. The focus is a bit off on this one. The first shot had better focus, but was underexposed at 2 seconds. This one was 4 seconds. The black background doesn’t really show off the Petzval lens. I’ll have to try something outside next.

I got some J. Lane dry plates the other day for the dry plate holder I bought. I hope to give that a try in the next day or two.

Another shot on #ilforddirectpositivepaper with the 1902 Century No. 5 #5x7camera and the #foldio. I wanted to see how narrow the depth of field was on the no-name brass lens that came with the camera, so I placed Enid slightly behind Pedro (the mascot of everyone’s favorite racist tourist trap, South of the Border). I probably should have placed her closer to Pedro so you could see that; this looks like they’re in the same plane, like this is a mistake. Also, it’s not framed great, as you can see the edge of the Foldio on the right. Notes for the next try.
I got a dry plate holder for the camera and some J. Lane dry plates, so I hope to give that a try sometime this week.

This is the first really decent shot I’ve gotten out of the 1902 Century Studio No. 5 camera that I bought in Florida over Thanksgiving. I used a #Foldio 3 fold up studio with a black-ish backdrop and the included LED lighting to do this. I would have liked to get closer and have her fill more of the frame, but the camera only has so much bellows extension. This was shot with #ilforddirectpositivepaper at an ISO around 2, 5 seconds of exposure. It was probably underexposed at that, because it took several minutes to develop. I’m happy with this. The camera works.
