I saw this before and I think thats awesome they opened a tintype studio. I collect vintage tintypes and really want to try it out. I am hoping to go to Brokklyn in a few weeks for Photoville. They are setting up a tintype studio, portraits willl be 30 bucks! http://capworkshops.org/photoville-2012/

Black anodised aluminium seems fine.  That's cheap enough.
