so, my great grandfather died recently and my grandpa inherited a camera from him (it was originally my great, great grandfather's) it's a dry plate field camera (this is all i know) and i was wondering if anyone here knew how to work these? 'cause i have a vague idea but i really don't know. google hasn't been very helpful and i really don't want to try and make gelatin emulsion of silver bromide and dip glass in that. neither me nor my grandpa know how to set the camera up, any help would be so incredibly welcome.
