Probably make money selling a used Intrepid 8x10. You can't get them anywhere used or new. If someone is selling one for half-price, I'll buy it. My daughter is currently using my rickety old Century 8x10 in school. I could upgrade her.

I have a MK1 lying around not being used. If interested, PM me and I'll come up with a price.Originally Posted by ic-racer
World of Used Photography in Columbus Ohio has an 8x10 Intrepid in their showcase.

I've been reading this thread with great interest –
As the reason I got into LF was I really like the look of 8x10.
But the weight with all the extras was too much for me. A light camera would mean lighter tripod - that would help in the equation.
Curious if my existing lens would work on the 8x10 intrepid? It's the 12" commercial ektar?
Is it too heavy?
Thanks!
IMO, questionable on the MK1, but probably doable on the MKII or MKIII. Hopefully, an Intrepid 8x10 user with similar weight/size lens will chime in.
Thanks!
the UK VAT is aready included in the £520 and a quick google shows no import duty from UK into US under $800! score!
Should be fine with a MkII or later.

If you want a classic, look for a Century Universal. Much lighter than a 'dorff. Also the Tachihara double extension is another svelte runner-up which might be worth considering.

I have the MkII 8x10, and my 12" f4.5 Ektar is too heavy to put on that camera. I have used my 12" Turner-Reich Gundlach on it, but its stressing the camera if I attempt to rack the focus out more than halfway. Its really not built for heavy lenses.
