For sale is an 8x10 field wet plate camera made by Ty Guillory along with a Dallmeyer 3B lens. It comes complete with a wet plate holder with 3 inserts (8x10, 10x10 and whole plate) and 3 lensboards (one uncut, one with the Dallmeyer 3B and one cut with a diameter of approx 3.5 inches). Ty no longer makes cameras but you can see his amazing work at . This camera has both front and rear movements.The 3B has the serial number 63,893. The glass has one noticeable air bubble and some dust that does not affect image quality. The aperture slide works fine down to about f11 and then gets a little stiff. The rack and pinion drive doesn't work (it turns but the teeth don't seem to grip). I'm parting with this great setup very reluctantly as I simply do not have the time anymore to dedicate to shooting wet plate. I originally bought this for outdoor work and have only used it a couple of times. The inserts are absolutely clean, as is the holder.
