What are the advantages of collodion photography?

Collodion photography is more complicated and difficult to handle than Daguerre photography or Carlo photography, but it has four main advantages:

1. The negative image is extremely clear, and it can be printed permanently and clearly indefinitely.

2. The price is low.

Archer has no patent for collodion photography, so anyone can use it for free.

4. Its sensitivity is higher than that of silver plate photography and Carlo photography. When shooting scenery or portraits outdoors, it only takes a few seconds or dozens of seconds of exposure time. At that time, it was the shortest exposure photography.

Collodion photography not only has a clear image of Daguerre photography, but also can print cheap photos on photographic paper indefinitely like Carlo photography. Its appearance eclipsed both photography methods. A few years later, no one took pictures of Daguerre or Carlo.
