I have a bag bellows for my Wisner 8x10 Technical. I will say that it is rare that I've used it.
With today being August 20th (8/20) I thought it might be a good time to post another image to this thread.

Please keep sharing. Great stuff!
jdk,
I understand you want to limit your wasted effort in buying the wrong camera system, but you haven't mentioned where you are located. Are there any rental options in your area? Is there...
Michael,
If I can get out to Colorado, I would love to take you up on that offer. I haven't been able to get West of Chicago in over a decade.

Mat,
Wonderful image of your dog. I also have long dogs, a pair dachshunds. Every time I've tried to photograph them with the 8x20 they get up and have to check out what I'm doing.
Jim,
You're...

Michael,
When I first started working with the 8x20 I found myself looking for long wide buildings. It took a long time to be able to see the beauty inside the building and let it go off the...
Jim,
With nice work like that I think we have to keep it alive.
That's so peaceful. Very Nice!
Karl,
I had a friend that used to put his prints on an easel and photograph them with a digital camera on a tripod. Or I've used a copy stand for some of my Platinum prints and some of the silver...

Michael,
Very Nice!
I never did get to use Efke 25. Like Bryan, currently I shot a lot of HP5.
Here is an image from Lumberton, NJ shot in 1992 on Tri-X.

Jim,
It is funny how you almost always get asked the same questions while out with the big cameras. How old is that camera? Do they still make film for it? Why not just shoot digital, it's easier?
...
Jim,
Something about the big camera always makes people stop and say something. I was working at a lighthouse in Maine and a small group from of tourists from Canada came up. They were very polite,...
Bryan,
Thanks for joining us with some fine work. I've always been a fan of the first image of yours. Nicely done.
Jim,
Beautiful Carbon prints, keep them coming. August is a long month.

Thanks everybody.
Here is a more recent image from 2018 of the Stehli Silk Mill in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
