Recently purchased an 8x10 Deardorff and this is a test picture using a Caltar 300mm lens. Cropped and minimal processing.
I don't know if I have the patience for 8x10 large format, but I 'll try it for the summer and see what happens.
You’ll be a lot stronger by the end of the summer. For several years it was lugging a 4X5 around, then I switched to a 6X9 bed camera, after that it was a Leica. It’s not just the camera, it’s all the gear that goes with it.
