So the design phase of my 8x10 camera is slowly chugging along, just wondering if anyone can give me a few pointers on building a back.
Can some kind individual give me some idea of standard dimensions, to fabricate one - at some point I'd like to invest in a polaroid back for the impossible project instant film so I'd like to include the capacity for that into the back at this early stage.
Considering oversizing it to accomodate future 'growth' so if I were to do 11x14 can someone tell me if I am right in thinking the back would need to be 15x15 to accomodate the film holder?

According to the ANSI? i think that's the name the holder size for 11x14 is 16.188widex13.000 wide plus your springs etc 19x15 may be closer.
