I've gone ULF, (Ultra Large Format), Large Format is too small, I think it's the first of many

Many older books I have call 35mm & 120 Miniature formats, Quarter plate to Whole plate - Medium format and 10x8 and larger - Large Format. However our perceptions have changed and we now have different definition.

I'll post images of my new 12x10 camera when it arrives, it needs a little work, screen, bellows, lens boards and some repair, all in a day's work

I have some 12x10 plate holders, I may start coating my own, it's 30 years since I made emulsions commercially, I want a coating line . . . . . . or I'll have to take up Wet plate.

Or you could get some sheets of black DiBond cut and use them as backing for sheet film. This is what I did with my Watson 10x12, and it works quite well.
