why oh why oh why?

I did question my need to post on a forum such as this....and why was that...because you always get someone who turns it into a bitchy little argument...and why? I never did understand...are they bored, unemployed, do they feel need to bully, to argue....

Complete newbie to 8x10, so what do I know, but I've got to throw in my 2 cents for the 2D - a great camera for portrait work. I just started with mine at a living history event this past weekend. A sampling of comments - "is that a reproduction?", "does it work?", "who do you think you are, Matthew Brady?", "you need to get one of these" (as a Nikon D_SLR got waved in my face).

Here's a first effort - 240mm Goerz Dagor onto Ilford MG IV paper.

Whatever you decide, enjoy!

Beeing british and wishing to go british, I believe there is only one real option for you: GANDOLFI!
That's the road I went for 8x10 (or 10x8, as you wish) and I never regretted it.
It will survive Scotland...
Cheers,
Rui
