Ebony's new 20x24 inch camera...... Weighs only 22Kg! I dread to think how much Robert White will be selling them for.....

Eat your hearts out 10x8 users!

WOW! I think Lowepro should start breeding donkeys.

[dave_whatever]

Is that for people who only have 300ppi scanners?

So that's why our rain forests are dissapearing

Just before you get too carried away, 25 sheets of HP5+ from last year's ULF run @ Silverprint:

HP5 20x24" 25 Sheets (Special Order once ayear)
£513.87
£603.80

But, if you work out that one sheet of 20" x 24" is the same surface area as 24 sheets of 4" x 5", that only works out at around £1.00 per sheet.

Mind you, it should break that habit of bracketing every shot

Do they make Velvia in 20x24"? Maybe we should all start buying sheets of this stuff and cutting it down to 4x5" in the dark.

You could always try some Polaroid film...

I'd imagine if you can afford one of those you can probably afford the film! Or you could always use 4x5 and tape it together??

I'm just wondering how long it will be before someone decides they'd like a Quickload enevelope for it

Now there's an idea!

I think my main concern, other than the cost of the film, would be developing RSI just focussing the thing! I wonder if they have a version with motorised focussing to speed things up a little?

The Lotus 20x24 is motorised

The Lotus 20x24 is motorised

Which should be really convenient in the midst of a remote landscape like Glencoe - unless you like carrying a battery and inverter as well as the rest of the kit

Do they make a 5x4 reducing back for these cameras ?

At least if you get caught out in the rain you can shelter inside the camera.
