It’s taken a while but I have finally got hold of an affordable Kodak 4A. They tend to go for silly money for a decent one. I’ve been looking for a few years now and this was on eBay and no one else bid so I was dubious about it. Well I needn’t have worried, it’s in excellent condition.
Hers a Kodak VPK, 3, 3A and the 4A!
With the Kodak Vest Pocket camera that took 127 film.
It’s in excellent condition. And would make a half plate image if I could bring myself to ever shoot wet plate in it… it’s way too nice for that.
Did I mention it’s as big as my head ?!?!
I also picked up a cheap folding glass retouching easel!
I think I need some additional shelving at the studio…
Very nice Tony, you also shoot on roll film? 🙂
Hi Jan, Yes on the rare occasion, but roll film for this one is no longer available, maybe some paper negs on a roll, time to experiment.
Hello Tony,
There is a wee french film company that may be able to help you making odd sizes of roll or sheets films,
I think that with their Film “W” – 25 iso – ortho( coated on paper)they can custom it to different sizes..not sure.May be they can do omething for the Kodak 4A?
