WTB: 8x10 or whole plate field camera
Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:28 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00
Hi, just thought I'd drop a line to see if anyone is interested in selling their 8x10 or whole plate field camera. I'm looking for something new or old, but good condition with light-tight bellows and - if it's vintage - suitable lens panels etc to ensure that the camera is fully functional.
It's for a project - with the aim of processing and contact printing my own negs - so the camera must be in good working order.
It would need to be relatively lightweight, as I would out-and-about shooting the urban environment. So I'm thinking of something along the size/scale of a Shen Hao, Chamonix, Gandolfi, Wehman etc.
Or if anyone spots a good one secondhand somewhere, please let me know about it!!
I'm a professional photographer based in west London. This camera is for a personal project, so I'm not looking to spend a fortune. Feel free to ask me anything else.
