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).

    This is a very good and fast collodion. I am able to photograph in the studio with only 1600 watt/sec of light (4 Paul C Buff strobes). I will definitely buy this product again.

    I have been mixing my own collodion for years but started using UVP-X a few years ago. It is fast, consistently reliable and has a long shelf life. Highly recommend and its now my go-to for shooting studio portraits with strobes.

    Great, fast collodion. Pours well with a nice setup time in controlled environments. When poured outside (windy) it can set pretty fast, but pouring a little quicker avoids any lines. Or…simply pour it in your darkbox (like I typically do) and never have a problem. Great tones, tremendous speed. Great for using with strobes. Stays stable for months with little loss in speed. I’ve been shooting 20+ years and this is the only collodion formula I use outside my own mix. Highly recommend!
