Better dry plates

In my last post, I said that I had been up to Port Levy Saddle to have another attempt at using Zebra dry plates in my 4×5 camera. This time, I reduced my variables a bit by using lenses with known apertures, although my second image was taken with a 1930’s vintage lens with no shutter. The exposure seems to have worked out pretty well, based on ISO 2 for the dry plates.

Getting the plates into and out of the holder went much more smoothly this time, no broken glass!
