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).

    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.

    Fast, low contrast collodion perfect for strobe lighting

    Posted by Ross McLennan on Nov 19th 2019

    I shoot single source aluminium type wet plates and I find the contrast perfect from a freshly opened bottle of UVP-X collodion with my f4.5 Wollensack lens and a 9600ws strobe

    Very happy I tried this formulation! It give rich tonalities, is easy to read when developing, fixes well with rapid fix. In a side-by-side comparison to ODB, UVP X was ever so slightly faster. The response to natural light, CFL hot lights and studio flash is excellent.

    absolutely love this stuff. great speed, good tonal range, and excellent shelf life. just about everything you could ask for, especially if using strobes for portraiture.
