    Hello ,


    from the beginning of Feb. 2021 that he's ordered 40 boxes of 20x24 Portra 400 (all pre-sold).


    How many photographs for these 40 boxes ?

    Best regards

    10 sheets, so not a huge number.

    Hmmm. Given the undoubted effort and cost of shooting 20x24, one would hope for a higher percentage of successful photographs than when using smaller formats.
    I admire anyone willing to tackle ULF, and to be sure big contact prints are beautiful things. But i'm going to stay with 4x5... 38 years into it and it's still a challenge.

    Still, that's a lot of boxes, and for the effort and cost involved how many photographers. Would love to know.

    Yes, was thinking the same. 20x24 studio portraits? Alternative to 20x24 Polaroids.

    Now Illford has released their ULF order for this year. I am so tempted to break the piggy bank and go for the 20x24. But man on man what a huge investment. Upwards of $20,000 to get into the game. Has anyone done this?

    I have a 14x17 camera from Richard Ritter that I got last year and loving it. I have to confess that it has me thinking about a 20x24. God help me.

    Another resource for you would be the Facebook group 'Ultra Large Format Photography'. Some nice people there from around the world

    I shot Polaroid 20"x24" for many years, and built a back to take "standard" 20x24 double sided film holders for Bergger and Ilford sheet film. I am currently without a working 20x24 camera but have a slowly growing stack of parts for when I have time again for personal projects. I sold the Wisner holders I used to have in favor of Chamonix ones, and have a bunch of HP5+ waiting for me.
