UVP X is a modern collodion formula developed for speed, long life, tonal range, and usability.  It is used for making for tintypes, ambrotypes, and glass negatives. UVP X is a cadmium-based formula that ages slowly, so you will have consistent results over a long period of time. Stored in a cool dark place, this collodion will maintain good working properties for 6-12 months.

UVP X is specifically formulated with a slightly higher bromide ratio, which aids in achieving good tonal range in portraits. Also, it is easy to see the image during development, which helps achieve the most from the collodion. It’s the fastest of the super stable formulas (Lea Formula 3, UVP-4, UVP-X).

    UVPX collodion

    Posted by GREG SHEA on Nov 11th 2022

    This is my go to collodion for all of my portraits, and the occasional landscape. It is exceedingly user friendly. It is fast, renders images well, is long lasting and stable, and adheres to my plates well. I’ve been shooting for a little over two years, and it has worked well for me since plate #1. Great stuff!.

    Collodilon

    This is my new "favorite" collodion recipe...It seems a bit thin when you first open it. I have previously used thicker formulas, so I have taken to mixing the last of the old bottle with the "new" bottle. Brian explained that he intentionally makes this recipe a bit thinner to avoid "crepe" or "crappy lines"....(which I sometimes had problems with when mixing my own collodion). There is also some natural "thickening" that occurs with evaporation. Great contrast and seems to have a decent shelf life.
