Photographer Kevin Klein set out to build the world smallest wet plate camera. Not only it is beautifuly crafted, it actually works. The camera takes tiny pictures using a simple double convex Kevin Salvaged from his collection.
It is built from 1/32″ plywood and various other wood materials (i.e. tooth picks) and takes a 1/2″ square plate.
Here are some views of the camera and plate
And a sample of the result imagery
