    Knowing how large you want to shoot without going over in size is also something to consider. That's a hard one to predict without actually shooting though. I converted an 8x10 B&J camera into a...

    Nana, I love the Oil process. You were the one that said to continue with it when I gave up on the process. So, thank you! I took your advice.
