As I start out in LF, I am looking for a film (8x10). I mainly shoot Tri-X in medium and small format, but understand that TXP is a different emulsion. Of course, I have been looking at things like...
Thanks to all who have posted in this thread. You have all made good points, given me much to think about, but most importantly, instilled in me the confidence that this can be a successful journey.
Honestly, I couldn't care any less about the distinction you are making and as I pointed out before, this literally has nothing to do with the thread in my mind and is nothing more than wordsmithing...
With respect, it feels like some people actually understand what I meant when I used the phrase "self taught" but are deciding to (somewhat strangely) make an issue out of the use of the phrase. By...
This is precisely, 100% what concerns me. I have heard/seen this before, but I have never seen a real explanation of it - and I am concerned that if and when I do hear an explanation of it, it will...
Can you elaborate? And apologies if I am playing a role in cargo-culting bad information on the internet. ::)
First off, apologies if this is a less than optimal choice of forum. I scanned all the forum titles and, at least to me, there wasn't an obviously better choice of forum in which to post. Again,...
Certainly not an expert in this area so take this with a grain of salt, but I have heard of people doing this for alternative processes. You have a MF or smaller LF negative that you want to...
It seems to me (and I will be the first to admit that this is based on purely anecdotal evidence/appearances) that Tri-X is not as popular in LF and 8x10 specifically as it is in MF and 35mm. Does...
And obviously nowhere near the Bay Area, but if completely stuck, you can always reach out to SKGrimes - http://www.skgrimes.com/services
I honestly think this is a bit of a longshot, but call Matt @ Glass Key Photo and ask him. If he doesn't have the parts or can't order, I feel close to certain that he could point you in the right...
That was the recommendation given to me. Having a VERY difficult time finding one, which is why I started to look at alternatives. For reference, as I mentioned, this is my first LF kit. I shoot...
Considering getting this as my first lens for a new 8x10 kit (my first LF kit). Interested in thoughts about this lens, whether this is a good first lens for an 8x10 kit, whether this is a good fit...
Thanks to all who responded for your answers. More answers are certainly welcome!
Absolutely agree. I am wondering if someone who uses this combination can point me to a model # perhaps. Reaching out to Keith Canham and RSS as well.
Thanks for the comment.

Does anyone use a Canham wooden 8x10 with a RRS tripod head? I am looking for the correct plate to mount to the bottom of the camera. Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to all who have responded and I look forward to more responses! I am fortunate to have a mentor in the area who has a RR and so I was able to see (and hold) one in person today. I definitely...
Hi all:
I am actively considering getting an 8x10 camera and was looking for feedback on both the Chamonix and the Richard Ritter. I have searched as extensively as I can on this site, APUG, and...
Thanks to each one of you for the very warm welcome to the site. Much appreciated!!!
Thanks, Peter! And MGOBlue!!!

Thanks, Ed, for the welcome. Quick question here - I have always kind of thought I would jump in directly to 8x10, but should I consider 4x5? I'm a big guy so carrying the weight should not be a real...
Totally and completely agree with you about KEH. I bought my Hasselblad and Mamiya systems there. Strange though - is it just me, or does there inventory seem super low these days? I don't whether...
Hello all! My name is Matthew and I live in Ipswich, MA, which is mid-way between Boston and New Hampshire. I have not yet purchased a LF system but am just now thinking about it. What I really would...
