[LargeFormat] 8x10 advice

[Charles Thorsten]

OK, let's try this again with no html.  Sorry Clive!


I've been shooting quite a bit of copy work at my
photo lab the past year.  All of it has been with
my Toyo 4x5 monorail camera.  The majority of
the work that comes in are oil paintings, along 
with some architectural renderings, things like
that.

Over the past several months I've had requests
for 8x10 transparencies, and I'm starting to think
about investing in an 8x10 studio camera for this
kind of work.  Everything is indoors with strobes.
I've always worked strictly with 4x5 so this is
kind of new to me.  

Does anyone have advice on a camera to look for?
Reccomendations on brands, newer versus older,
reliability issues, etc.?  I've seen older cameras
on Ebay such as Koronas and Deardorffs that look
very nice.  Would an older wooden camera stand 
up to day-to-day use in a studio?  Or would I be 
better off with a metal monorail camera like my
4x5?  I'd appreciate any input.  Thanks!
