What a moving image, Nana. I agree completely that your use of wide/ultra-wide lenses is exemplary and tasteful. Thank you for the inspiration.Originally Posted by Nana Sousa Dias
Thank you, Joel.
Me and you...we conquered the world....now, we are paying that back!!!!
Yes, I do own the Ebony RW810 and I love it. Maybe I should post a review. I've been processing film every day now for the last two weeks. I process about 5-10 sheets a day in Unicolor and Beseler drums that I purchased on ebay for $9 + shipping. I don't have a motor base yet so I've been turning them by hand. I eventually plan to buy a Jobo, but I'll probably pick up the motor base before that happens. After I finish all the B&W film that I have to process, I have about 100 8x10 sheets of C41 waiting for me, as well as another 70 C41 in 4x5 from a trip earlier in the year to Puerto Rico. I'm thinking of building a temp controlled water bath system for use with my Unicolor/Beseler drums, so I'll be busy for a short while.Thank you, Perez.
Do you own that camera on your avatar? Is that an Ebony 8x10"? If you own one, you are a very lucky guy....at the present moment I don't have any 8x10"...I have 4 or 5 boxes of B&W film, 6 negative carriers, Jobo Expert tank for 8x10" and no camera....I'm starting to feel nervous about that....but...no money for that..., I had to sell my Kodak 2D...
I love shooting 8x10 much more than 4x5 (I also own an Arca Swiss 4x5). The 4x5 and 8x10 are the only cameras I own besides my cellphone camera. I sold a Canon 5d MKII and all my 35mm gear and used the money to buy the RW810. I don't miss the Canon one bit.
If I lived closer to you I would let you try it out. Well, if you're ever here in California let me know.

Thanks a lot, for your offer, Perez...I wish I could go to California...the closest I've been from there was Brasil (I use to go there once a year, to teach some workshops).
In fact, I have some medium format cameras that I shoud sell to buy a Shen Hao FCL 810 (Ebony is too expensive for me) but you know how it is, I'm in love with my Pentax 67, 645, Rolleiflex and Hasselblad 500 C/M, I can't discard any of those...
Perhaps I can sell some prints, after I have my personal webpage ready...( I print in my home darkroom from 8x10" to 16x20" fiberbase photographs)...maybe I can make enough money to buy a SH 8x10".
Got back out for a few days....

These will be much better once printed. The scan is tough to get right with the contrast.

Nana,
My apologies...yes, I was referring to the extraordinary grace and unshakable excellence of your image.
