    Leather Handle on 8x10 Deardorff

    Joel,

    What you need to find is an old luggage repair place. I took my camera to one and the woman there wasn't even fazed. I don't know how she did it, but for about 30 bucks she installed a new...

    Accidental 8X10 purchase

    Hi Richard,

    I got in to 8x10 the same way you have, and boy did I make a lot of mistakes. The one thing to keep in mind is this: 8x10 film is very expensive, and the time spent on each shot, from...

    Vignetting - Another Post

    Doug,

    On one of my 8x10 lenses I kept getting vignetting and could never figure out why, because I was judiciously looking through the (cut) ground glass corners before every shot. Then I figured...
  9. 9-1/2" f6.8 Goerz Dagor AMerican Optical Co. for 8x10?

    The 9.5 inch will offer modest room for movement. Some have said there is a slight focus shift from 6.8 to 22. Contrast is good for a classic lens as there are only four air-glass surfaces, and...

    Ah, the light bulb finally went on. Yes, if your camera lets you switch the back into portrait mode, that would likely make a big difference. I never thought about that - those Super...
