Description

UVP X Salted Collodion

Fast. Stable. Easy to Develop. Built for Portraits.

Available ready to shoot or as a two-part kit, UVP X is trusted by many of today's professional wet plate photographers for its consistent performance and beautiful tonal rendering.

Developed for speed, stability, and ease of use, UVP X is a modern cadmium-based collodion designed for producing tintypes, ambrotypes, and glass negatives. Its carefully balanced formula delivers excellent sensitivity, broad tonal range, and reliable results throughout its working life.

Stored in a cool, dark place, UVP X maintains excellent working characteristics for 6–12 months, allowing photographers to work with confidence from the first plate to the last.

The slightly elevated bromide content produces rich tonal separation that is especially well suited for portraiture, while the image develops with excellent visibility, making it easier to judge development and consistently produce beautiful plates.

  • Excellent stability with a 6–12 month working life
  • Rich tonal range optimized for portraits
  • Easy-to-see image during development
  • Smooth, predictable handling

    Love this stuff!

    Posted by John Berry on Mar 10th 2020

    I've gotten great results from the UVP-X collodion. I don't have time to shoot a lot, so a bottle of collodion usually lasts me several months. This stuff ages really well, and very slowly, and seems to keep its speed over that time period, which is great for the way I work.

    long lasting and fast

    This stuff lasts for months, even in less than favourable conditions. Good tones for positives. Speed doesn't change much over 4 months.

    Very fast and fresh collodion

    Posted by Marc Andrew on Jan 5th 2020

    I've mixed my own for quite a while. I could never get consistently fresh ether or collodion from various suppliers. The sensitivity often varied 1-3 stops! Not cool. I tried UVP X and it's super fast. Maybe even too fast for in some circumstances. I've been shooting strobe at 2400-4800ws into a softbox between F3.8 - F5.6. At the end of 6 months UVP X has lost a stop or less. Great stuff. Thanks for shipping fresh chems!

    Fast, reliable, versatile, long shelf life-- win, win, win, win... broad range of tones in the shadows-- i use it for both indoor portrait work w/strobes and outdoor landscape and works great for both.
