You are right.
Probably quality wet-plate food photography is still possible, but the colors of the subject, illumination and even the character of the lens used should be very carefully chosen,...

Really nice project and perfect presentation!

The main problem, for me, is the price - 400$ for the pieces of the carrier seems a bit too much.
However, I'd prioritize film flatness and protection...

It doesn't emulate an old technik, Tedolph. It really is a scan of a print made in the old Platinum/Palladium technic. On short, I started with a digital image, made a negative of it on a Pictorico ...

thank you vidau.

Thank you Pierre.

A cylinder with 0 horizontal curvature and and some vertical curvature. The result would be the whole horizon in focus (0 horizontal curvature) and upper-the-horizon and lower-to-the--horizon...

"Hmm, should not this be “the worst”? Only one point (the center) in focus on the horizon. The rest of the horizon QUICKLY going out of focus when you move away from this point. What kind of...

"But if the edges are in focus further than the center, this is generally a detriment."
Not always. For reportage it is a plus because it helps to put the portrait in its' context while still...

Nice article, indeed!
It looks like the modern lens design is focused only on creating flat field curvature lenses and the field curvature is considered a defect or the sign of a loose design. The...

Yes, an interesting technology with application in astronomy and non-interchangeable lens cameras. For cameras with interchangeable lenses a fixed curvature sensor is not so useful, IMO. Lenses...

'If the sensor is designed to adjust to the curvature of field of the lens, we could actually make it much smaller…well, smaller, or better with the same footprint.'

"If" doesn't mean that it...

And how exactly do they bend the silicon crystal to adjust curvature for different lenses?

"Nikon always did somehow seem special to me and I hope that they will be around for a long time."
Exactly my feelings, too.

And the eyes of insects are structured very differently. They form images images different from our eyes. In order to "see the world through the eyes of insects" this should be taken into account...
