Jay Dusard has a new book coming out that has some great 4x10 shots in it. It's called Horses.

Now that Ilford makes 4x10 on a regular basis, and ShenHao, Canham and Ebony all have 4x10 cameras on their website.
How many 4x10 shooters are there now.

I have an Ebony 8x10 and recently had Hiromi from Ebony make me a 4x10 back (very nice).
I bought 4x10 film on the Ilford yearly order last year and before Fotoman went out of business I bought a 8x10 -> 4x10 film cutter from them.
The cutter makes it easy to cut down 8x10 film and has a "notcher" which facilitates orienting the cut film.
I haven't shot any 4x10 film yet but am going to a get together of 30 LF photographers outside of Melbourne (Australia) in about a weeks time, so it should get a workout there.
I would be interested to know if anyone else if Australia is using the format.

Somehow I think that I'll be shooting more 4x10(with a split 8x10 darkslide technique) in the future. I like the 1:2.5 ratio, it helps with landscapes, when you don't have much "cloudage"(is that a word ) to deal with in the 8x10 format.

SMALL WORLD! Another 4x10 shooter here in Melbourne.
Being out of business, the Fotoman film cutter is as rare as hens teeth, so I've just picked up a cheap rotary cutter from Officeworks and modified it to cut 4x10 sheets for me. Works a treat.
Now if only we weren't due a month's rainfall all on Cup weekend I might actually get a chance to get out and take some more photos...
Cheers
how do you make a split darkslide?
do you just cut the metal in half?
so you get two shots each side, or what?
through a glass darkly...
Not in half; you need the removed section to be slightly smaller than the remaining one.
In this way, you leave an unexposed strip between shots as well as a margin for light-leak.
You also need a separate slide to do this as you still need a complete slide for when the film's exposed.
