SAVE your Polaroid type 100 camera – New project – Video Presentation

by with One Comment blogtinteam

Ciao Ragazzi

Today I present a new and ambitious project.

For some time I’ve been working with a team of professionals to realize an idea: SAVE TYPE 100 CAMERAS.

The name of this team is TINTEAM:

As you know Fuji has put out all the films of this type and Polaroid Originals CEO with an open letter has said that no recovery of this format is planned in the near or near future.

So this plan of work has been born that has been carefully tested in the last few weeks and I want to share the results with you … What is it?

WITHOUT any modification to your Type 100 cameras you will be able to produce gorgeous Ambrotype or Tintype, the cameras with a tripod hole are preferred, but it is not absolutely essential.

The resulting images have the same useful surface as the 100 films.

We will not do any Kick Starter or anything else, we will produce the production that will be presented in January 2018 at MYINSTANTLIFE in Maranello, if you want to stay up to date follow us on StenopeiKa website http://www.stenopeika.com or on Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/thetinteam/

In the video me and Alan we try to explain the project, soon you’ll can see also the first tests results.

How to convert your wetplate camera into a film camera with film holder StenopeiKa

by with No Comment reviews

CIAO!

This morning i’ll show a new product that integrates even more the Stenopeika offer for a traditional photographer.

With a NEW FILM HOLDER StenopeiKa is possible and very very easy convert your wetplate camera into a film camera.
In the video i’ll show you a new film holder and i explain the features.

QUESTION: why choose a magnetic film holder?

Because… SPOILER for the next video:

  1. with this new accessory you could save the money for fidelity film holders back
  2. for a ultra large format is easier to insert a chassis from behind that does not fit it on the side
  3. very nice design because is the same of your camera

So now you just have to watch the video!

I remeber you who the black friday 2017 offer is still active, and you could receive the holder in the video for free if you accept the offer here.

CIAO!

WHY sutter pop-up tent for collodion photography?

by with No Comment blogreviews

Ciao Ragazzi!

This time we go out from my workspace to take picture outside with StenopeiKa 5×7 tailboard modular camera, Sine-igne 200 mm f4 wooden lens and… try the new sutter pop-up tent for ice fishing.

For the location, thanks to Lorenzo, it was possible to choose the alpine refuge “Faggione delle valli” located in a Acquerino natural park, very wonderful natural park near my work space, in the mountains between Pistoia and Prato (Tuscany, Italy).

The sutter tent is a very confortable pop-up tent, after 2/3 times is possible to open it in only 1 minute, and disassemble in the same time. Thank to the bag pack you can transport it without problem in any locations.

The tent was born for ice fishing so, in different areas it filters the light from the outside, but with a black adhesive tape is possible to have a really good hold of light and work in serenity.

I did not see any qualitative differences with the most popular quick-fish eskimo (type 2), and if you consider that the sutter is also found in Europe, i think it is a great advantage for European collodion photographers that want a definitively solution for take pictures with collodion outside (and sometimes also inside).

The only negative note concerns the height, in fact for now I found only the model with high 1.70 meters, for me is ok but for the tallest friends this can surely represent a problem.

So, I hope you like the video, see you next time!

Why use 11×14″ wetplate holder with magnetic connections, 1st part

by with No Comment accessoriesbloglarge format cameras

Ciao ragazzi!

Today i’ll show you the details of StenopeiKa 11×14″ native wetplate holder and 3 good reasons to to use it.

So the first one is a technical reason, this holder is different from the commercial holder because it is not plugged into the camera but it is attracted to the camera so the accidental movements are avoided during the insertion phase, because if you use this holder you don’t have a insertion phase!

The second one is esthetic reason, this holder resemble perfectly the external camera profile, obviously i speak for Stenopeika cameras, folding and tailboard, but with some modifies i could make it also for a other cameras.

The third reason (I didn’t say it in this video, but i’ll explain better in the next one)  is that the holder accepts plates up to 4 mm in thickness, one of the few in the market to accept such thick plates.

BUT TODAY I HAVE ALSO A GIFT FOR YOU!

Only for you who follow me on the blog and on the social, I have 3 more videos with extra content where you can discover the secrets of the 11×14″ wetplate holder and special gift.

Click here and follow the instructions to wach the video and find out the secret of StenopeiKa wetplate holders.

Catlabs added an interesting video on its YouTube channel.

He speak about the custom 8×10 wetplate holder that i make for him with 8×10 full size 208×257 mm mainly used in the United States market.

Like the last versions of holders i use only plastic and metals (aluminium), i don’t use wood to avoid contamination.

For the United States friends you can find it on Catlabs website  here, so you save much money for shipment.
