I've put together an 8x10 kit between the forum and evilbay, and have managed, fingers crossed, to set up a number of portrait projects where my costs will be covered. However, this means I can only afford to shoot 8x10 if/when these projects go ahead.
I've been looking at and considering a 5x7 camera as an improvement on 4x5 (in terms of enlargement size) and the film costs roughly half what an equivalent amount of 8x10 would cost.
I've done some googling and forum searches as I figure it's a topic that has been raised before. I'll be shooting almost exclusively portraits, maybe occasionally still life and I'd like to be able to do decent size enlargements (maybe up to 4-5 feet in length)
I do my own developing and scan on an epson v700 and figure on scanning myself when working on personal projects and going for drum scans if/when there are exhibition funds.
So my questions are, at 4-5 feet is there a significant difference in IQ between 4x5/5x7
How big have you enlarged from this format?
Any thoughts on scanning ? Have you enlarged flatbed scans and how do they look?
Anyone tried the "betterscanning.com" holder/glass for this format
Thanks
