Sure, but maybe not a large number of Guelphites. We're not that big a town.

I know of at least 2 other large format folks in town. Maybe a club is in order!

Does anybody know of any good resources/shops for finding a regular 8x10 back?
Are there any people out there making parts for Deardorff cameras?
Are there any dedicated Deardorff groups or clubs?
Any help would be so very much appreciated
Thanks

Any back in the future for a V8 will be a used one or a third party copy. I am still waiting for Barry Cochran to finish the 8x10 back for my V8 that IMO will be the last made under the Deardorff name. Good luck to you!

eBay is a good source. Ads there for 8x10 backs fairly often.
You see them on the classifieds here as well.
