     @SVChucko I think there’s Polaroid in 8x10. For 4x5 hardcore folks are still getting old stock from god knows where (actually pretty easy to get in SF), or Instax

     @skinnylatte Uh-oh indeed. Somehow I suspect you’ll have a blast at it.

     Do they still make Polaroid film in 4x5 or 8x10 formats?

     @skinnylatte Do you know about Freestyle Photo in Hollywood yet? I used to buy film there before I went 100% digital. Their retail store on Sunset east of the 101 is worth a visit when you're in L.A. https://www.freestylephoto.com/

     @skinnylatte have a think about how portable the setup needs to be, and how much weight you need to carry. Should the kit be capable of international travel in hand luggage, for example.
     And of course, work out of full movements are part of your scope.
     Oh, and check for much film and processing is! It's owie in most formats right now, but 5x4 especially...

     @skinnylatte how large? 4x5, 8x10, bigger?
     I keep considering the Intrepid 4x5 and also using it as an enlarger. But might be more of a 2026 thing!

     @skinnylatte cool, didn't know if you had a flatbed. 3d printing has made 5x4 adaptors for Patterson or jobo tanks much cheaper and easier.

     Let me know if you want a hand with any equipment selection ponders
