Today very super special video!

The preview of the new 4×5 folding camera… the X camera 4×5″!!!

I went to Brussels to meet the professional collodionist Silvano Magnone and try together the new camera (with wetplate holder) to receive some feedback. With us, Elize, the assistant of Silvano, became available at a small shooting.

Designed for professional use, it has an aluminum base board, separate and independent movements with mechanical zeroes.

Silvano Magnone wetplate collodion with StenopeiKa 45se2 folding camera

Ciao Ragazzi!

Weekend with wet collodion photography with Silvano Magnone and friends of the Aurea association in Rome.

For the occasion we used a Stenopeika 45se2 folding camera with StenopeiKa 4×5 wetplate holder.

It was also an opportunity to test the great feature of this camera (besides having all the movements both on the front and on the back like a view camera), that is the rigidity, by mounting a heavy brass lens of the mid-800 that Silvano uses for his portraits in the studio.the camera is not moved by a millimeter and the workshop participants have been able to use it all afternoon without any problem, personally I’m very happy with this.

See you in the next video!

Graflock back on StenopeiKa 45se2 folding camera and inboxing

Ciao ragazzi

After a week of vacation in which I have not published any content, here we are with a new video!

This time, after many requests and comments, I will show you in detail the operation of the back of the StenopeiKa 45se2 folding camera and how it can be used with classic film holders and also for a “special” holders or graflock holders (in the case of video with a polaroid back 504).

With this video we are at 3 for what concerns the model StenopeiKa 45se2 folding camera, I remind you a professional, magnetic view camera, with everyone, but all of them, the movements (and very large) both from front and back.

Below are the two previous videos.

And the “dance” video where you can see all the movements:
