Just noticed this comment. "Welcome, Carl, from Lincoln." Many many year ago (55+) I had relations that lived a town called Lincoln . They ran a public house down on the docks. From memory I think it was the ''Oddfellow's Arms' or something on those lines

I purchased just a few parts of a very old camera. I have remade much of the back and the front focusing track. The lens is a Rodenstock Imagon 250mm it isn't as old as the camera I'm not sure when it was made it could be 60 years old. The camera is the Blair Tourograph whole plate ( 6 1/2 X 81/2") made in about 1890 by Thomas Blair. In 1899 the company was sold to George Eastman and became the Blair Camera Division of Eastman Kodak Company. The Now I wonder how many pictures it would have taken over the years. Blair and one of my FEDs The first pictures I have taken with it 5x7 paper negatives

"My arm is so sore"
I guess the little rodent will sort out the men from the boys...
Hope the arm is better.

I have just realised I have left something out, and dosn't make much scene.
The reason for making digital negatives is because I want something larger then the original camera negatives.
This is should give a better idea of the project.
#1 Using a PinHole camera take some pictures on 400ASA roll film.
#2 process the film in a two part developer.
#3 scan the negatives into a digital format
#4 using Pant Shop Pro ( sorry I don't like Photo Shop) enlarge the images and re-work for a better quality.
#5 print these large negs onto transparency film
#6 make contact prints using home made salt paper ( this type of printing is over 100years old and was the type used by William Fox-Talbot)
