What is a 1DSII?

Digital SLR....

Oh! That is allot of $$$ for a camera that will be out dated in less then a year.

Richard has loaned me a 7 x 17 that I started using last summer. I am writing about my experiences with ULF and sharing the challenge of using a big camera. I will keep my project going for at least another year.

Richard! Quit wasting time posting when you're supposed to be building my 4x5/5x7/8x10 camera! Norma is sooooo heavy!!

Sandy - Richard's happy to have room in his shop again. Your post and pictures were a nice birthday present for him, too.

Many happy returns, Richard.

Think of it in terms of the film you would have bought instead.

If you were using a 24x20 to 2x2.5 reducing back.... of course you could always do 10x10 panoramas instead..

Sandy, that is an incredible value! An heirloom that will never go out of date. A light weight 20x24, now that's something. Congrats, Richard and Sandy. Now back to my traditional 11x14 building.

My thoughts exactly! Remember Richard, I get serial #2.

Per Bruce, Happy Birthday!

Yes, indeed, a very happy birthday Richard, and many more.

I just weighed the RR 20X24 and it comes in at a tad under 23 lbs. Considering the ample movements, rigidity and bellows draw of about 48", this weight is incredible to me. One great designing and construction job IMHO.

And the CD owners manual is great also. I have been working with ULF for a long time and figured I knew almost all there was to know, but there were several useful tips on the CD. Plus, the sight of Richard standing on the extended bed of the camera should erase any concerns that the light weight equals fragility.

Under 23 lbs! Wow. I can see my porter easily carrying it with a couple of double darks all straped in a metal frame backpack carrier when we do deep in the jungle expedition in Panay Island Philippines. Maybe I will grab one when I accidentally drop and destroyed my 11x14 cambo in one of those rough, rugged and raw jungle expeditions!

Have fun Sandy.
