I was given this unopened box of Kodak quarter plates a few months ago when I went to pick up the Ross projection lens for the Billcliff 12×15 camera. Today I had a quick look to see if they were still of any use. I have no idea of their age.<\/p>\n

Here are the paper instructions that came in the box…<\/p>\n

\"ins01\"<\/p>\n

And some of the results… well sort of, there are images I suppose.<\/p>\n

Having not shot these sort of plates before, I found I had placed them in the holders backwards thus shooting through the antihalation layer.
\nTheres no ISO as such so I rated it the same as wet plate and shot for 30 seconds at f8 with studio window light.
\nDeveloped with whatever was on the shelf. 1 part to 79? stopped with water and fixed again with whatever was on the shelf…<\/p>\n

\"Plate1\"<\/p>\n

Inverted
\n\"Plate1invert\"<\/p>\n

\"plate2\"<\/p>\n

Inverted
\n\"plate2invert\"<\/p>\n

And a close up of the second plate with a crazy effect. I might have been a little aggressive with the agitation during tray development… or it may well be due to something else.<\/p>\n

\"Crop1\"<\/p>\n

And after searching for ages for a Kodak No.3 plate holder and eventually getting one for free, I manage to find another six…<\/p>\n

\"Holders1\"<\/p>\n

The inner septums on most are made of cardboard and easily removed and replaced with some tin corners thus making wet plate easily achievable.<\/p>\n
