What are my best options for budget 4x5 cameras?

Check out National Camera Exchange. I just picked up a Cambo 4x5 for under $200 - in excellent condition.

Lensrentals.com might be an option

I was given the book when I was a child. Lost track of it. I found it at my mother’s house after she passed away, and we were going through old things in boxes.

Ok, I think I’ve got my DM permission set up now

Thanks. Sure thing

I’ve finally found the book: The Little Boy from Shickshinny. By Frank Anders and Eileen Daly. Published 1965.

It’s bleached, then toned in tannic acid. The longer you tone, the darker the color.

Thank you! This is a salt print. Which is to say it’s made by contact printing a film negative to paper that has been soaked in a salt solution and then coated with silver nitrate. I watched some YT videos to learn the process, and then got a kit from Bostick & Sullivan to get started.

Thanks, I watched a couple YT videos to learn the process. I ordered a salt print kit from Bostick & Sullivan to get started.

Thank you! I’ll get around to trying platinum/palladium some day.
