Brilliant, great idea and VIDEO. Keep on trucking man!

That’s so awesome. I know ive been saving my empty canisters for a reason!!!!!!!

Some amazing work, really consider putting out more content. What you have is fantastic and will get noticed but you need some volume.

very helpful, thanks! just picked one up for 100$

very cool

This is truly Amazing and beautiful piece of art. I love it!

That is insane! Well Done!

You shoot amazing portraits! I am a beginner, still afraid to do my first wet plate collodion... Bought three 4x5 cameras, and need to learn more before doing it. If you have any advise for me I will really appreciate.

Ufff!

That Was Great!

nice! how do you know how long to expose it for?

Amazing really. Keep on doing videos, it will take off at some point !

Bro you have to upload more!!! Thats so cool btw thx for sharing

Cool. How did you keep from getting finger prints on the working side, did you clean it before pouring?

Is it possible to directly expose onto the tintype with an enlarger instead?

Wow what a cool way to upcycle the film canisters! I definitely want to try!!

the absolute coolest photography video I've seen on here in a long time

Very helpful, thank you! The L35AF is my first point and shoot.

If you bang the bit poking out, the bottom pops off...

The AF3 also has a filter ring mount. It's only the AF2 that doesn't have it. The AF3 actually addresses some of the issues you talked about. It has a better battery compartment and no pop-up flash. It has a button to override use of flash. The AF3 flash also has an automatic diffuser for fill light. It does sport a specialty battery, a CR-P2 - but on the other hand it lasts 50 rolls (with 30% flash photos) and up to 5 years. (no leakage) So the trade-off right be worth it. It also turns off automatically, so no worry of forgetting to turn the camera off. No ISO setting and only 4 element lense though - so it is a bit of a compromise.

That is incredible! Great video!

Hey! Love this idea - if I make a video doing this process is it okay if I tag you and give u credit?? Also do you know if there is a way to remove the front label of the canister?

I bought the original version of this in 1983, in Hong Kong at a time when it had hardly reached US or other Western markets. From my reading stuff then, as I recall, this was Nikon's first foray into AF/Point and Shoots, and they were determined to make it an absolute cracker of a camera, and the whole feel of quality around the device was very much commented on. In particular, the lens. I owned mine until about 5 years ago. I had though stopped using it around the mid 90's, when I had bought a new point and shoot that was quieter in operation. I never had any real gripes with the L35, well satisfied with the photos I took with it. There was one thing that became increasingly irksome. The lens cap/cover that had to manually removed and replaced everytime I used the camera. That was a main reason why I bought a new camera in the mid 90's. That, and I just fancied a new camera, as you do !

I have the 1000 iso 😂

I've never shot tintype before but I keep coming back to this video because of how cool it is. Seriously, this is such an amazing concept!

So cool!

Fascinating! The size is really cute too - would make a great accessory to hang off a bag or something. (maybe even smaller one... as earrings? 😮)

Fantastic

This is incredible ! I love how it looks couldn't find the patience to work on a 4x5 acrylic piece but thanks for the great video !

I have enjoyed watching your videos. I hope you make more!

Genius video my friend

this is so cool!

That is SO cool! Well done brotha

Genious ! Incredible 9.40 !

Woah. This was really cool

Great idea and execution!

does your acrylic plate/holder also work for newer film holders?

This is so cool!

Very cool. All I need is a 4x5 camera, chemicals, darkroom setup… lol.

Hats off to you, such a great idea.

Brilliant

Having the clear fixing tank it such a cool idea! I really want to get into tintypes someday, after I can get a house I can set up a darkroom in

NGL, this is fantastic. what a way to preserve on a durable substrate small and convenient, easy to display... this a wonderful gift for someone to put on their night stand, fall asleep with visions of their loved one, on the inside of a film canister.

As someone who grew up in his father's darkroom, I really appreciate seeing your tintype innovation. I will have to try it myself.

fantastic idea

Amazing! I just saw this.

gorgeous work!

I know the lens grouping is different, but let it be said that the Nikon L35AWAD also produces some uniquely stunning results, absolutely love that camera. For contrasty dramatic sharp shots I've found it to be a stunning point and shoot.

Step one get a large format camera

Really cool. I’d like to try this. Have you got recipes for the solutions you used?
