An image that I've been working on this afternoon, which is going to be part of a series. Still a work in progress. Sinar F2 , 210mm

Actually 5x7 is not a bad idea. Equipment is portable in a whole different way than 8x10. You might have to cut the film yourself from 8x10 but it isn't that much of a hassle. Development equipment like tanks and enlargers (if you want to go that way) are smaller, and scanner options are vast compared to 8x10.Thanks Neil!
I am thinking about the 8x10 too! There is always the 5x7 size as an intermediate step to the bigger format.
Thanks for the compliment. The 360mm lens I'm using is big in comparison to lenses most are used to, but it feels downright puny compared to some of the big brass lenses I have (think 6.5" flange just to mount the lens to a board).,as is yours Jeremy,3seconds of life,so interesting.Im being slowly pulled into the large format thinking;like the idea of 10x8 but that standard lens must be a monster.Havent used such a camera for about twenty years,such a nice way of working..............all the best Neil.
Speaking of monsters, I have an Apo-Nikkor 610 f/9 repro lens in barrel. I never got to use it - it's just too unwieldly at about 5-6 pounds. It's huge and has moderately wide coverage, should cover 11x14 with movements. At this time it's a great conversation starter.Thanks for the compliment.

Stephen,The 16" Dallmeyer should be next to a refrigerator for scale. What does it weigh?
i think its about time i give that a test. my gut says the Betterlight has a greater rangeHi Jim,
I particularly like the second image with the tires marks on the foreground. :thumbup:
How would you rate the dynamic range of the scanning back compared to digital backs (they all claim to be 12 stops)?
Thanks,
Francois
