Antique 4x5 camera creates 20 micron photolithography masks



I use an antique 4x5 view camera to create high resolution photomasks in my home shop.

  1. Just in case you can get to Germany: We have an old Black and White Photo Magnifier nobody uses. If you're interested, just contact me

  2. I would very much like to learn more about the sealing process you used to make the vacuum film holders. I'm about to make some for my own camera and am interested in how you sealed the light-tight slot where the dark slide inserts.
