I just bought the top half (no baseplate or stand) of a Century No. 2 camera mainly because it was incredibly cheap at an antique store. What I have is in incredible shape with light tight bellows. I've been shooting 8x10 film for a while and have been looking to get into playing around with plates instead of film, and as of right now am intending to just knock out a new baseplate for this in my workshop and go from there. However, the ground glass on this camera measures 10x10". Is this a standard size for older holders or just a way to get around using a rotating back for 8x10? Also, where if anywhere could these holders still be located. I'm thinking this might be a fun winter project, but am holding off until I have the proper holders for this. Any and all information is welcome. Thanks-
