Why do you shoot 11x14 ?

'Cause 11x14 Xray film is less than $1 per sheet.

Yup $0.30/sheet is what I recently paid

Honestly, its a bitch. Look at Brett Weston, he published a 10 print portfolio of 11x14's and then decided he had no need for a penis extension after all, reverting to smaller formats. For me the sweet spot is 5x7 to 6.5x8.5, but 8x10, 4x5, MF and digital are all good enough and a whole lot less trouble, and you can make fantastic contacts from all of those too.

Why do you say that an 11x14 camera is a penis extension? Seems like there are a fair number of 11x14 shooters out there, how do you know anything about their genitalia?

I use it for bigger contact prints (alt processes). The 8x10 is a lot easier...and being a newer beast than the 11x14, the 8x10 is more precise in its operation. But I plan on having both with me when I head over to Death Valley soon.

I have no idea, except I do have an 11x14 so perhaps I speak from cold hard experience. Or is that flacid.

Now let's be civil. If mdm is happy with his teeny-tiny little penis... um, I mean format, who are we to criticize?

[goamules]

I guess I'll never know about mdm's parts, work, or thoughts again. Setting phazers to Ignore.

I wasn't aware they made 11x14 enlargers... Do they make 20x24 enlargers too?
