Good luck, you will love the ULF format... :)Wed, 26 Dec 2007 12:27:05 GMTJorge Gasteazorohttp://www.traditionalphotographer.net/forums/Topic236-28-1.aspxFor a long time now I have wanted to work with really large negatives and make contact prints. I havent been able to afford it until now. I think I will choose the 12x20" format, Chamonix has a "reasonable" priced camera, with 2 film-holders, in this format, I think it was about $4500. :unsure:<br><br>I see that over on the a-site there is a used Lotus 12x20 (with a 8x20 reduction back) for 12.000$, and that is completely out of my league. <br><br>I will of course take a look on the different sites with classified ads, but are there other Camera models than the Chamonix that I should consider, if I want to buy a new one?<br><br>What lenses on the market has an image circle large enough to cover this format?Wed, 26 Dec 2007 12:08:57 GMTEirik Berger
