Craig, I was happy to see that you succeeded with this. Congratulations!

I have this camera and it is an incredibly lightweight and well made camera. It’s also a joy to use.

I have been using the Pro Satin Duo 255 and I like it. Red River does make an Arctic Polar Luster Duo that is pretty nice and more expensive. I have used both in the 12x12 size and like both of...

Another from Death Valley made with my Ebony 8x10 using a Nikkor 450 lens on Velvia 50 film.

It might be because I’m in the middle of trying to revamp my site with a new update. It’s taking longer than I expected due to traveling this fall. Jim

An older 4x5 image that I had to re-scan. It was made with an Ebony 4x5 using a Nikkor 300M on Velvia 50.

Here's another image from Death Valley made with an Ebony 8x10 using a Nikkor 450 on Velvia 50 film.

Here is a second composition from the same general group of trees as in my last post. Like the previous one, it is a black and white conversion from a 5x7 piece of Provia.

Here are a couple of images made of the same rock, but from different angles. I thought I would post the two as a diptych so they can be viewed side by side. Both images were made with an Ebony...

Good luck with this project. (Have pledged.) So I hope it succeeds.

Yes, it is.

Here is an overview of the pool and stream where I made the last 2 images I posted. This one was on 4x5 film.

Fred,

I have tried numerous cleaners with just a little success. I have sprayed the outside of mine with a clear acrylic spray and it has made it less sticky and at least at this point doesn't...

An image from the Lake Superior shoreline made with an Ebony 8x10 using a Fuji 300 5.6 and Velvia film.

John,

The swirls were made possible because the outlet from the pool was pretty much clogged up with leaves and the current had them moving in a counterclockwise motion. And, yes, a long...

I'm not quite sure if they are much cheaper, but you might check out Red River.

Another image from the same area but from a different day. This one was made with the Ebony 8x10 using a Nikkor 150SW on ly this time on Provia.

Bob,

The poster stated "lightweight." From the lenses mentioned, they certainly meet that requirement. And as someone who backpacks with an 8x10 at the age of 68, if you have other lightweight...

Both of these lenses fit the criteria the poster requested covering 8x10 and "very" lightweight. You could add the Fuji 240A, Fuji 300C and 300A, Fuji 450C, G Claron 210, Germinar 240,

I may try to spray it with some sort of acrylic spray but will make sure the spray works on fabrics. If I go down that road I'll post whether it works or not.

Bob, this is kind of a fall back one and the one I currently use is a Chinese one that doesn't seem to have any problem with its material. Guess I'll probably have to live with the stickiness.

I have a Harrison changing tent that is very “sticky.” The previous owner had it rolled up and stored for years. It also smelled, but I have been able to get rid of that. Any ideas on how to...

A recent image from this fall. Made with an Ebony 8x10 on Provia.

I supported the original Kickstarter and the product is supposed to be sent fairly soon. I was thinking like the original poster about somehow “maybe” using it in conjunction with some kind of older...

Peter,

There was a kickstarter project with this product. Supposedly, this is either an illegal knockoff or a scam. If you go to Kickstarter and search “iris drawing tool” or something like that...

The new one I ordered is called “The World’s Edge” published by Prestel just this September. When I receive it, I’ll try to post a comment or two about it.

Drew,

It’s a fun video. His off the cuff speaking manner is rough sometimes, he drops f bombs on a regular basis. He’s incredibly passionate about what he does, and his passion is probably the...

There’s an interesting YouTube presentation by him. Well worth watching as far as I’m concerned.

Finally got around to scanning this image from Death Valley several years ago. Made with an Ebony 8x10 using a Fuji 240A on Provia film.

I made this image a couple of years ago in Capitol Reef during a winter visit. It was made with my Ebony 8x10 using a Nikkor 450M on Velvia 50 film. I was pleasantly surprised how well it turned...

Thanks to the earlier comments.

Here is one from Capitol Reef last fall. I was lucky enough to have the small rainbow stick around until I was able to compose and set up the 8x10. Usually, the...

Here's an image taken last fall with my Ebony 8x10 using Provia 100.

An image made in Capitol Reef a few years ago with my 8x10 using a Nikkor 450 on Velvia 50.

Randy, if you have been to the farmers market around the square. Just imagine both sides of the street lined with artists booths around the square. Art Fair on the Square is one of the best shows...

Having participated in about 400 art fairs over the last 20 plus years, I’d like to think I have a pretty good perspective on art fairs. I’ve done as many as 24 in a season, but I’m now down to 7...

Peter, I look forward to your comments. I’m on the fence trying to decide if it would make a better backpacking camera than my Chamonix. It would save about 3.5 pounds, but the Chamonix is...

Chamonix 4x5 with Provia. Somewhere in Zion.
