  Q: 1. Would this camera be suitable for tintype photography?

  Q: 3. What is the height of the Tenba CCV45 case? The stated internal dimensions in the product specs for the Tenba CCV45 case are listed at 12 x 15 x 21.5in but they were not specific to what each number was referencing. Obviously the 21.5in length is easy to discern from the product photos but width and height less so. It my intention is to use this case for a 4x5 monorail view camera (Calumet CC 402 wide field). Since in this type of case the monorail view camera is hung upside down and resting on the case’s dividers I would need approximately 13in or so of internal height clearance for this to work. If this case is 15in tall then all would appear to be fine. However if the case is only 12in tall then the camera would not fit.
