Oren has as usual hit the nail on the head. I own the Phillips 7 x 17 and it is an absolute joy to work with. Because of that I would endorse the Chamonix through its design similarities to the...

Where are you located. I’d be interested in working a deal with you if it’s a reasonable drive for me.

Monty

There have been many excellent potential solutions to the question.

Landscapes I split 60/40 Phillips 7 x 17 with a 355 G-Claron and Ebony 20 x 24 Schneider 550 XXL.

Portraits 60/40 Canham 10 x 12 360 Heliar (Wet Plate almost exclusively) and Ebony 20 x 24...

Kerry Thalmann made one that was wonderful.

You asked about other pano formats.

I use 7 x 17 quite a bit and love the ratio to it.

Monty

Excellent vision. Love the simplicity and yet volume to the photograph

Ansel seemed to have survived the catastrophe just fine I would say. As I said earlier we all have to make decisions for our photography for ourselves. For my photography and the way I contact...

I want that clock! Great photo tuco!

I've never pursued that with my 20 x 24 work. I just load them up and make the photograph. I've never noticed an issue with that approach. A more discerning eye may be able to prove a counter...

Not sure of every focal length on these portraits and my memory is the resource on the View Camera Article referenced about the 355...

I’m not very technical with my photography. I read an article years ago when I first made the jump to ULF by Ron Wisner in which he described the counter intuitive premise about shorter...

For my 20 x 24 work lens wise I use the Schneider 550 XXL Fine art lens for about 75 percent of the film work with a 1000 mm Germinar (sp) for the rest. Wet plate is the 37 inch Dallmeyer 8D, and a...

The 12 x 20 is beautiful. I have one of Dick’s 7 x 17 cameras. It is such a beautiful well made camera. I absolutely love it and the format.

The man bent over his guitar,
A shearsman of sorts. The day was green.

They said, "You have a blue guitar,
You do not play things as they are."

The man replied, "Things as they are

Nicely done.

Great!

If it’s perfect it is only so because it resides in the limitless mind and thus I walked away to preserve it.

Monty

Well I say

Can I get a Amen! It’s good to have Heroique back!! The soul of LFF has been restored!!

Thank you for the suggestions.

Ron I’ll look into your links—thank you for leading me there.

To the multitudes,

I am in a unique situation where I am locked down on a campus for work until mid October. To be clear due to Covid I am not allowed to leave campus until said time-frame. I...

Always a pleasure Alex always a pleasure.

Be well

10 x 12 Alumitype. Love Wetplate for all its eccentricities. This was the first plate for me that showed how powerful the sensitivity of wet plate characteristics really are. My friend has no...

Ari,

Spoken from experience DO NOT take your MIL's picture. Collodion is the anti-christ to graceful aging portraiture. I feel my work here is done.

Monty

Very sad indeed. He was an inspiration to my beginning PlatinumPalladium printing. May he Rest In Peace.

Monty

It’s work but when the planets align it sure delivers on the fun.

Monty

This is really good. I love true originality.

Most of the work I have digitized is older work but I'll post here for posterity within the sub-forum. I hope those of you that have seen it don't find that too offensive. Great to see...

There are incredible photographs and photographers included. The fact that your excellent photography warrants the cover, as it does, speaks volumes. Congratulations! We are lucky to have your...

Stunning.

I should note you don’t get much joy from your children, collaboration or not in long exposure portraiture.

You don’t need a head brace. There are many work-arounds. Finding SOME bracing is important. The head brace becomes more important the tighter you get. The picture of my daughter leaning on the...

So true. Said about a company that goes out of its way to serve this community with an annual run of no minimum odd sizes that I’m sure is much more problematic to produce than its worth. And yet...

20 x 24 Ebony. Schneider 550 Fine Art Lens. Makes as good a picture as the photographer behind it. It’s all discretionary funds for the overwhelming majority of us on this site as very few of us...

Beautiful work

Flatiron has scaffolding all over right now as an FYI

Monty

A wonderful photograph. Original and printed to perfection.

I shoot a 20 x 24 camera with a second reducing back for 16 x 20. As I have stated in other threads I use them both for wet plate and pt/Pd prints. I buy several boxes of film from Ilford for each...

Congrats Sandy. So many people will find success through your hard earned knowledge!
