I can strongly second what Paul says. I have had my Wehman for about 3 years now. It replaced a heavy wood 8x10. The Wehman is lighter, folds more compactly, and gives me no worries about its...

We had some fun with this one. I certainly appreciate all the conceptual and subjective differences between film and digital, and obviously the contrast of compact camera vs. LF rig. For me, and I...

Let me second the endorsement of the Wehman 8x10, and expand a bit here. I have been using one for about 3 months and flat love it. In some ways the design is non-traditional, and it will never...
Let me suggest a variation on tray processing that I came up with years ago when I started down the large format path. I took some cheap 8x10 plastic trays that have subtle ribs on the bottom. I...
