Thanks everyone for responding to this thread. It’s had me take pause and reflect on what I’m seeking to achieve with ULF. I think first and format it will be head shot portraits at or close to...

Any progress on this? I’m interested as well.

Thanks everybody. This is very helpful. I imagine using it mainly in studio or close to car. So I could go big.

Do folks find 11x14 is a sufficient step beyond 8x10? I appreciate the...

I found the transition to 8x10 from MF (and s bit of 4x5) a big step up in complexity and cost. Practically everything needed to be replaced - naively I thought the camera and a lens was it. But...

Thank you. I have a 3063.
Murray.

Thanks Oren
Very helpful. Out of interest, which drum do you use for 11x14?
Thank you
Murray

Hi all

Last year I found this forum very helpful with informing my purchase of an 8x10 camera and Jobo set up for developing film etc.

I’m now contemplating an ULF camera. One thing I learned...

The One Planet is s very interesting option. They do sell them in NZ. Thank you.

Hi

I just bought an 8x10. I'm looking to do my own developing. I also have 4x5, 6x6 and 35mm but initial focus is in 8x10, as I don't know of any local labs that still cater to it.

I don't...

Thanks everyone. Very helpful.

I might take my camera into a trail store and see what packs they have to offer.

If can't find one suitable, then will look to the f.64 or similar.

Hi all

First a big thank you to all the people who helped me source a Deardorff 8x10. It hasn't arrived yet, but I can feel it is near.

I've been able to secure a few lenses as well, a Ries...

Hi Luis

For film I usually shop at Freestyle in the USA. I have been in touch with Kumar also.

I have ordered a few packs of B and W to get me started. Contemplating Velvia 50.

Hi Everybody

I've been given a lot of advice from a number of members, but a special thank you to Luis.

As an update I have purchased a Deardorff V8 from a forum member - which looks to be...

Is there any information on the web about the intrepid/kickstarter project ?

Thanks for the heads up. Will order one.

On the issue of film holders, what about a good and suitably sized film changing tent? Any recommendations?

Thanks Alan

I have one on the way

Thanks Alan.
Where can I buy one of the Blackjackets? They don't seem to be stocked at B and H. Is there a website?
Thanks for the heads up.

Any suggestions for a good focusing cloth?

Thank

M

Thanks for the advice.

I'm going to take my time. Find a nice example and have a system I can be happy with for years.

Thanks everybody. So far I'm finding the forum very informative and the people constructive, which is a change from one other camera forum I am on.

At this stage i'm still in search of a 8x10...

Thanks everyone

At this stage I'm probably going to wait until I can see the "for sale" section here, feeling its probably less risky than eBay. Though if something special comes up on eBay...
...

Thanks all.

I am going to pursue the Deardorff angle a bit further. I'm also going to look into older lenses - like the Kodak Ektars folks are suggesting.

I will need a tripod and head. Is...

Steve

Much appreciated. Fortunately I have access to an 8x10 enlarger.

I guess I'm at a point in my life where I'm over convenience - a primary and purported benefit of digital anything. ...

Dear all

Thanks for the comments. Cautions appreciated. I am seeing 8x10 as an "and" not an "or". So will still have Linhoff 4x5 and other cameras in the MF and 35mm space.

I totally accept...

Dear All

I'm about to buy my first 8x10 set up. Whilst I have a Linhoff IV I'm really rather new to LF. I'm attracted to the image making process with an 8x10 as much as anything - taking time...

Dear All

Thought I should introduce myself to the community.

I've been interested in photography for 35 years. Interest has ebbed and flowed. Mainly interested in street and available...
