[LargeFormat] BIgger I say! BIGGER!!

[Les Newcomer]

Instead of putting the weight out in the field, put it in your 
darkroom.   Shoot 4x10 with a wood mask in the Doodle dorf, add an 8x10 
enlarger (clive's got loads of Dursts by now) and at 2x enlargement 
your at 8x20 with no visible loss in quality, you won't have to cut 
your film or pay for odd emulsions and you'll only have 30 pounds to 
lug out in the field  instead of 75.

Next option.  Take a seminar from this pair.  MichaelandPaula.com  Once 
you see the big stuff in action you'll be able to make a more informed 
decision.
