I've had a Century 4a 8x10 camera made by Folmer Graflex for over 25 years. Earlier this year, it got banged up and part of the wood where the upright connects to the base of the rails cracked off. A wood worker friend of mine made the repair and also made me a very nice lense board. Now that I have it back up, I'm itching to start to shoot with it! Still trying to figure out how to hold this beast of a camera up and steady...

She's a beauty. I think you'll need hands that are strong as opposed to steady to heft her around. Maybe a tripod, but that's the easy way out.
