Re: 11x14 Deardorff Studio Camera
I have this same exact setup. It was in storage until I read about people using x-ray film in LF photography. I am now shooting 11x14 x-ray film and making contact prints. I shortened the stand to 6'. I have all the reducing backs and extension bellows. It is a beautiful camera.
Re: 11x14 Deardorff Studio Camera
Yes it is, I really like mine and lucky to find it.
I may convert the 10X12 back to use an 8X10 Deardorff slider back.
Of course I am not hiking with it. I am happy to walk again!

It is the most beautiful camera!
Re: 11x14 Deardorff Studio Camera
Yes, but you have a very nice one also!
I like working in my laboratory. Winter work.
But did meet some local historians, in period clothing today, that need and want a LF shooter.

Your Split Oak Forest shots are incredible.

Yes, I like my V11. S11 is incredibly engineered!

Re: 11x14 Deardorff Studio Camera
As I mentioned, I am now using 11x14 film. I have a 480mm Apo-Ronar in a Copal shutter, which is about a normal lens for 11x14. But I have a 890mm Apo-Nikkor that is mounted on an 11x11" metal plate. I would love to try using it for portraiture but it is an enormous lens. From a search, I see someone suggests building an extension box on a lens board, supported by a second tripod. The mount hole dimensions are 162x1.5 mm, or about 6.4". The mounting flange is 208mm, or about 8.2". Might be doable.
Re: 11x14 Deardorff Studio Camera
Read these threads.
My 890 mm Reinhold is on one box with pics and I have used a 900 mm Tessar on the SC11. At full 75" bellows extension.
Maybe I will find those images.
My Ronar 480 works fine but usually I use a APO Nikon 610 mm f 9 which is on the camera now.
