Ah, the wonderful 8x10 Korona at 
http://www.f32.net/cgi-local/discus/show.cgi?93/248

It took me a couple of years to find one at a price that meant I 
could afford the bread to go along with the water. Well, sorry to say 
that it is not for sale - but you probably knew that anyway :-)

Good to hear that you are thinking about using 8x10 again. The more 
people that use the format the better. We have to keep the film 
manufacturers on their toes.

I intend to make good use of it as it is a lot more fun to use than 
my old B&J 8x10 field camera. The only thing I really need is an 8x10 
back for it. It is currently being used for 5x7 portraiture as that 
is the back I have on it at the moment.

Cheers,
