Got a surprise in the mail today – first run of New55, the successor to Polaroid type 55 positive/negative instant film.  My first successful product I’ve received from a Kickstarter campaign!

Another tintype with Andrew the Panda.  I think I’ve got the chemistry down, and getting a feel for exposure, but I think I’ve got a light leak in my plate holder.

Well, I got the chemistry fixed for the wetplates, but I have a light leak somewhere in the system (and took too long getting subjects set on a hot day).  Still some debugging to go, but getting closer.
