On the Light side ... a large L E D bank of lights would require less energy and give off less heat for the development. May not be lighter. Maybe the engineers as OSRAM could "skunk works" us up something.

Don't forget, you would need to make a developing tank and film hanger. If you think 8x10 x-ray film scratches easily try fumbling with a three foot long, wet piece of double sided emulsion.
I've actually been thinking about the 14x36 size, but cutting it to 14x24 and then having a second 11x14 piece of film. 14x24 seems more practical to me, first, b/c more lenses will cover, and, second, have you tried to find paper larger than 20x24??
Mural rolls are available -- 40" wide, 33 feet to 100 feet long. RC VC or fiber.Originally Posted by Michael Roberts

Now you're talkin'!!
Thanks Vaughn.
What is the size of a Cirkut Camera negative ... like the one Jim Galli used at the Tonopah work shop?
Okay guys , you know I was thinking about building a camera this size but I didn't say anything about it. I've got a box of the green sensitive 14x36 film that I cut up to use as tissue support for my 11x14 and 8x20 prints. I use 9x21 for the 8x20's and 12x15 for the 11x14's. I get two sheets of tissue support from one sheet and it is reusable.
Now, Vaughn, I just developed two 8x20 carbon prints from my trip in October when I came to see you. They look great and I can't wait to show them to you. The negatives are Bergger 200 and it would be nice if x-ray film came in 8x20 so you don't have to try to cut it down. With emulsion on both side I'm always afraid of scratching the emulsion. This is why I decided to build a 14x17 camera... because they have x-ray film in this size.

Jim, you might have to buy a walnut tree to make a camera this size.
And a new apartment. Or at least a bigger one.
Yes, the Walnut stock is finally about gone and a 3 bedroom apartment would be nice. Then again a 14x36 Walnut Camera would be a one of a kind!! Believe it or not the last Walnut tripod with the Gitzo 1570M head would probably handle the beast!
