I found the book " Primitive Photography " good for inspiration only...
The film holder design lacks a light trap element which is critical.. The
diagrams do help you to visualize though and gets you thinking.. .. John

I thought the lens section of the book was very weak. It had sketches of
the element arrangement of various types of lenses, but the explanations and
formulas were very weak. Most of the book discussed how to make a wooden
box. I felt the strong point of the book was the section about wet plate
There's a book out called "Primitive Photography" that has a bunch of camera
and lens designs based on 19th century prototypes. Covers landscape,
portrait, singlet, doublet, triplet designs, etc. Outstanding book for
inspiration.

I think it's being marketed as esoterica...there's a market for audio
equipment too that's retro/extremo/expensivo.

You know Murray,
It occurred to me that a muzzle flash is probably bright enough to trigger a

Hello:
Look up "Engineering and Scientific High-speed Photography" by William G
Hyzer. Many techniques and theory.
For example:

Mind boggling book...most of the technology in there from 1

If I am not mistaken, Littman uses (amongst other things) an optical flat

not actually seen this beast, but the pix indicate something of the sort.
Not worth the money.
