[LargeFormat] Eskofot Ultragon

[Jim Hemenway]

Hi Clive:

Somehow, the 11x14 setup doesn't seem that much harder to carry around 
than the 8x10 except for the holders, a bag of 5 becomes heavy quickly.

So, for me I figure that I might as well shoot the 11x14 until I run out 
of color film for it and can find no more.  Then I'll go back to the 8x10.

I bought a 4x5 Graphmatic yesterday at a photo show for $60.00. I don't 
know whether or not that's a good price but bought it anyway. It's going 
to be a nice convenience for me when using my 4x5 Graphlex SLR which I 
usually bring along when I go out shooting with the 11x14.

Will try it with some Provia in the Graphlex SLR on the next sunny day, 
which is now forecast for Friday.

Yes, 10 sheets of 11x14 in each box.  About the equivalent to 11 rolls 
of 24 exposure 35mm film... in terms of number of pictures.
