That would probably wet plate photography. People are definitely still doing it, and
getting some incredibly beautiful results.

8x10 from the same shop, the bellows will need replaced in the near
future (new ones are easy enough to get), but even factoring in the
replacement bellows I got it for a song. Earlier this year I picked up
a really fun 6x9 (120 roll film) with a Schneider lens for $10. Once I
fixed the focus, it works great.

Well you can make Pin Hole camera's cheap ... :)
Does anybody still do the very early photographic glass plates?
