I signed up for one as well. Though I've got my hands full with 4x5 etc I mainly shoot color. I'm interested in 8x10 to shoot B&W and contact print at home with Lodima paper. Though the lens range was shorter than I would like (my 350mm and 450mm spend the most time on my Ebony) I felt like I wouldn't be shooting the same things I do with 4x5. Instead I would focus on different types of images that would have a life as 8x10 prints. Besides being in the price range that I would like, most important is that it's light. I've looked at the C1 over the years and hemmed and hawed over the weight, realizing I wouldn't use it. I figure if I really like 8x10 I can offload the Intrepid in the future to get something that will take longer lenses. But it might be perfectly fine being the camera for the specific things that I use it for. What's also exciting is nearly 200 8x10's sold in one day. That's pretty incredible.
