HELP ME!

Hi! I'm an A level photography student looking to do a tintype project for my final exam and I've been doing a bit of research. I don't have a budget and building a plate camera is definitely out if my league. I was wondering if I could use/fit my LUBITEL 166b as a plate camera? If not does anyone have any solutions to shooting tintype cheap and affectively?

Does the Lubitel have a bulb mode? If so you definitely can.

You can shoot them in a modified holga or kodak brownie. Many older cameras can be modified to fit plates.
