    Once upon a time I had a Sinar p2 8x10 and the money to buy boxes of Polaroid. Oh Boy that was a treatment But I also remember dragging a heavy weight through Italian mud in Tuscany.

    My V4 810 Intrepid is far lighter than most of my 8X10 boxes

    Film holders are the real big diff

    I like good wood 8X10 holders only in wood cameras

    as it wears less

    and plastic holders in metal cameras are more compatible

    I've had the good fortune of making photographs with a friends 8x10. Compared to my 4x5, I found it a superior experience. Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy making photographs with my 4x5. But an image being projected onto the ground glass of an 8x10 is magical - at least it was to me. Down the road, I'll get an 8x10 and put my 4x5 into mothballs for a time. Making contact prints with an 8x10 and enlargements of my 6x6 negatives is the stuff of my dreams.
