One question that comes to mind is how 11x14+ size glass plates handle for wet plate collodion? I’m wondering how easy they are to handle and pour etc.
    Do you have any experience making wet-plate images, if not, there will be a steep learning curve to pour, expose and develop a plate of this size. If you are planning to make 11x14 inch head shot portraits you will need quite a bit of bellows extension with the right lens. I have made 1:1 portraits on Ilford HP5+ with my 11x14 Wisner and a 720mm lens and I think the bellows was extended about 40 inches. Perhaps others who have worked with wet-plate in ULF sizes will offer advice and help.

    The difficulty of pouring good plates expands exponentially with the enlargement of the plate size. If you don't already know the process, you should learn on smaller plates first to refine technique. This will save you much $$ as the chemical, materials, and equipment commitment to plates larger than 8x10 is substantial.
