get some simple form of stand camera
for the purpose, and At 1t with one Of
the old-fashioned portrait lenses, which
can usually be picked up secondhand
very cheaply. A half-plate lens should
be got for quarter-plate or smaller
work, as this allows one to be further
from the sitter, and so avoids all risk
Of wide-angle effects, besides covering
the plate better. In such a case, one
