Yep, I have been staying away from eBay for some time. However, the temptation to check it our was too great, so, I gave it another look.
Since a long time, I have been into alternative methods of photography. It might not be that obvious from this blog, other than me writing about paper negatives.
Today, in eBay, I took yet another step towards old skool picture taking. I won an auction on an old wooden LF camera with a lens, a film holder and a few copying frames. I spent about €220 including shipment... Can't wait to hold the camera in my hands.
I am sure that I will have to do some work on the stuff, the bellows looked pretty dirty (mold?). I figure the wood to get some TLC too. I hope the lens is clear, although, I am prepared to take it apart and refurbish it myself.
This could be my first serious step into the direction of wet plate and tin types.
