Yesterday I tested a no-name half-plate camera for the first time with paper neg. Some issues to iron out but I've got images and that's a good start.
I loaded the paper into metal film inserts but the paper popped out on one of them after exposure. Others may have bowed. For my next test I've added a small piece of double sided tape in the middle to hold the paper flat. I used 8 inch and 10 inch Emil Busch lenses on home made lens panels made from black foam board – neither came with a flange and the threads cut into the foam board nicely.
Fresh Kentmere VC paper
Developed in ID-11 1+1 for 2 mins
ISO 3, exposure was 3 secs @ f/16, lens cap shutter
