I plan to use my new to me, Full Plate camera, with Plates!
I really like I can contact print on 8X10 paper with good margins
The camera is way smaller than any 8X10

I need to save up some extra beans and get Keith Canham to make me a whole plate reducing back for my 8x10. And then get someone to rehab a bunch of my vintage wp holders. If I still had my studio, I'd shoot more of it with my Kodak studio portrait camera, but it's in storage, and the stand for it is too - plus the stand needs the platform rebuilt.
Oren, I am guessing you had something to do with Mike Johnston's foray into this format a few years ago. At the time (I saw Mike as a LF dabbler) I thought it was a bit nuts. Hard to get film, holders, etc. Why not just 5x7? But ever the romantic, he bought into the aura/history of WP. I hope he used it before moving on. PS. Mike is a friend of mine; I don't mean to diss upon him.
Indirectly, I guess.
