Ciao ragazzi!

After some weeks i’m ready to show you the new X camera 4×5″ by StenopeiKa, your new super light professional camera!

Yes!!! because with its 1.5 kg is one of the lightest large format cameras on the market, plus with its very small size 23x20x7.5 cm make it one of the most easily transportable, in fact I use it in a bag for Ipad!!!

So, I’m very excited about this presentation, I worked a lot on this camera, I had it tested before Silvano Magnone (here the link to the video of the trial), and to Giulio Speranza, and only after passing these two tests I decided to present it!

You can see others pictures here:

Wetplate holders by StenopeiKa

by with No Comment accessoriesblog

Ciao Ragazzi

Today is the day to present an evergreen of stenopeiKa’s catalog: the wetplate holder, in this case 8×10″ but what you will see in the video also applies to the formats 5×7″ and 4×5″, and also ULF.

The features:

  1. the external dimensions are those of the film holder fidelity, so you can use them on all the cameras on the market
  2. the materials (pvc and aluminum) are chosen to be resistant to the chemicals used during the collodion photography process, also based on my personal experience in this type of photography
  3. easily washable materials
  4. you will not see, in the final picture on the plate, the corners where the plate is placed, this is a small secret of this support 🙂
  5. the book opening is very easy and comfortable
  6. double closure, magnetic and mechanical

If you want to see a video extra about assembly of wetplate holder and discover all secret about it click here: http://www.stenopeika.com/stenopeika-wetplate-holder/

You find the wetplate holder here: http://www.stenopeika.com/prodotto/wetplate-holder-lf/

They are not seen in the video, because I forgot about it, but also the format reductions frames are also available, so you could take , for example, 5×7″ with 8×10″ holders.

You find it here: http://www.stenopeika.com/prodotto/reduction-frame/

So i think is the best for you that you want to practice wet collodion photography, see you on the next video and article.

Ciao a tutti!
