Hi Dennis,
Are there in this book any plans that we could surely follow in order to build good film holders succesfully? Are they wood film holders like the ones we know? Using the same mechanisms the ordinary plastic ones does ? Thank you for any help.
Ricardo.

Subject: Primitive Photography Book
Primitive Photography A Guide To Making Cameras,Lenses,and Calotypes
Published by Focal Press Author Alan Greene
ISBN o-240-80461-9
Having just read this book I can recommend it to the intrepid experimenters on this list.It has five chapters 1/The Film Holder. 2/ The Camera Body 3/ The Lens 4/ Calotype Paper Negatives 5/ Salt Prints By Development. With an Appendix for Sources of Supply US only and a Bibliography
The Author has done much research to make this book possible and it is very much a DIY Book where all the items needed can be made from scratch. When looking at the Photographs it reminded me of an Aperture book I was reading recently called French Primitive Photography they have that wonderful rustic quality. At first I thought publishing a book of this type in the Digital age a Folly but I am sure I will be proved wrong.
