This is the film carrier. It’s made of wood and belonged to ‘J. Mcelroy’. The negative is 4x5 inches, and they come in a box of 25, which you have to load by hand in a changing bag, feeling for the notches at top right that tell you you’ve loaded it emulsion side up. And then load onto the dev tank in a changing bag.

@liamvhogan@aus.social 5 x 4 = quarter plate, in the old money. A mate (Dennis) constructed some pinhole cameras using a quarter plate frame. One of them was about a metre long so it could be used as a telephoto lens. It took some great images. Dennis then burned the images to prepared plates so they could be etched and used to make gravure prints. The results were astounding, really good.

@liamvhogan@aus.social It’s soooo much work but so rewarding when they come out. The resolution vs 35 mm is insane.
