Get a Camera. This is very tricky or personal thing!
We all want the best, the most exclusive, the biggest...But in Collodion we must be very practical at the beginning. I once received and advice (The best one that someone could give me and I feel grateful for it) from Andrey Donchev, a very good camera builder form Bulgaria!! He build real beauties!! I was really interested in one of his cameras en the mail I received changed my perception of Collodion. "Start from small, get a lot of practice first and once you feel ready, you can buy one big camera. From me or from anybody else..."
So I took note and started with a nice 4 x 5". And it is my advice too. If you are interested in this technique and lloking for a LF Camera, start with a small one! You will spend less money in the camera itself, in materials, etc. and you can always grow up...
I choose a wonderful Wista M450 Camera 4 x5" from 70´s. It´s a Swedish camera build in Japan and it came from United States. An international start. Here is my little beauty!!
