    Ben,

    I pledged my amounts last week for both a 90 & 65. I've been following the project very closely and I'm not only excited for new people getting into LF, but also for helping the supply and demand of film. This project may create a short term (hopefully long term) boost in LF film.

    I was re-reading the pledge options and the $10,000 option states something along the lines of consulting about a dream camera and it got me thinking...

    If the Wanderlust 4x5 is successful, any chance you guys would consider building a dedicated 6x17 MF camera? We've recently seen both Holga and Belaire panoramic cameras, but they just aren't optically sufficient. I would absolutely back a sub $300-$400 Pano camera with the option of adding my own lens.

    All we really need is an affordable back for 5X7. We have the lenses and many of us have 5X7 cameras, and not 1 hour ago I bought 6X17 enlarger carriers.

    No I don't have a 6x17 camera, but you gotta plan ahead...

    still buying, can't stop

    WHat kind of enlarger can accomodate 6x17? 5x7 enlarger? That would be huge. I want to get one here. I saw some enlargers in Tehran but didn't able to ask! I'm sure they have big for 4x5-8x10.

    I do not have and would not get a 5x7 camera just for 6x17.

    Randy, can I respectfully give you the suggestion of go shoot and stop buying gear?

    Bryan,

    I shoot every day. I seldom show anybody my images. I shot 10 test images, just before I checked my screen. The computer is in the middle of my 'lab' always on.

    I'm a gear head, in every sense.

    I worked 30 years in a materials test lab, I see everything as another interesting procedure. There, I shot images of micro sections of tiny stuff, little stress cracks in metal. 8 hours of prep for a Polaroid of a microscopic crack.

    Has anybody here used FujiFilm Pressure Sensitive film? It creates continuous tone images from pressure loading. You can stand on it and get an image of a shoe. Never did come up with a good way to make Art with it, and it is kinda expensive. Later we invented a pressure sensitive digital imaging plastic paper. Patented and sold. Not my patent, but I would have only earned $1.00. We didn't fight over patents.

    We did live motion studies of the internal movements of a diesel cylinder head while running, represented in a video. Nothing is happening to the naked eye. Two weeks of 24 hour set-up for maybe 1 minute of data collection.

    I have images of red hot, which is 1700 degrees, exhaust pipes shot in tiny rooms. So hot and dangerous it was a bad place to be shooting film. Digital came later.

    The job was 0.1% photography and 99.9% dirty work. My lungs are getting better.

    Is this the Large Format shooting gallery? Where do the gear heads play?

    You'll excuse me Randy, it's just that there are some who talk incessantly about gear and seldom shoot, or don't at all. It's a bit off-putting to me. I had forgotten about some of your posts in the x-ray thread though.

    Anyway...it is my humble opinion that we should all post photos as often as possible, for not only sharing and discussion but dissemination of techniques and such.

    Right now I am fooling with X-Ray. I need to get up to speed with exposure, processing and scanning.

    I dug out a big piece of AN and have been spending a number of hours doing variations on my V700. My 4490 works better for MF and under. Using Vue-Scan. Considering replacing the glass in the V700 with AN from Focal Point. Moire problems.

    You have far better weather in Georgia. Summer shooting for me...is coming up and will compete with motorcycle riding and camping. I will try to do mobile darkroom maybe in my van.

    Then I need to go to the bars and find some new models...
