awaiting the arrival of my first 11x14 ULF camera. Soon to arrive as well a Schneider G claron 355mm. I have a stash of efke 100 and a small package of photowarehouse 125 to try. I plan on tryng several different methods of contact printing the images. I also infrequently have Sven the sherpa to help haul it around for me. Bow I just need Mateo, and Robert Hall to give many many popinters on how ot properly use it.

11x14" American Optical (1890s) with two S&S holders and two Hoffman holders. I still need to fix a few things on the camera before I can use it efficiently, so I've only been using it occasionally. Usually using the 10" WF Ektar, 12" Dagor, 360mm Heliar, 14.5" Verito, 19" Apo-Artar. Printing for now on regular enlarging paper, but eventually I'll get set up to cut down Azo to 11x14".

[smieglitz]

Just started using it but:

1) 11x14 Burke & James and 18" f/4 Verito.

2) I generally print on Centennial POP but plan to do some 11x14 Van Dyke Brownprints in the format this summer.

3) I also have a smaller 11x14 ROC that now sits idle (as well as an 8x20 Korona in need of a new bellows). In addition to the 18" Verito I have the Verito 22 1/4" extension element, 210 Angulon and 24" Artar which I haul around. I have several other process lenses for the rig that sit on the shelf including a 480 Nikon and 21 1/4 Copying Ektanon.
