What size? See the subject line.
I only asked about 11x14. Never asked for equipment.
I'm an amateur with just a little hobby time & limited funds,
just like many others here.
The 8x10/11x14 thoughts *may* come back
when I have the time to deal with it.

I asked about "used" scanning backs because --
film is disappearing faster than I thought it would.
It's frustrating in 35mm & medium & 4x5.
And I couldn't get (my personal favorite film) Plus-X in 8x10.
Not any longer.

So for now I'll ask questions.
Take it easy, will ya?

Now don't yer panties in a bunch :-) I thought you were
one of those wafflers, I've seen so many of.

You may not get the exact film you want for 11x14 but
if people don't support film sales in the format they
want then the will be no incentive for makers to supply it,...end of story.
Most films are available in 4x5 and will be, because there are so many photographers
that try 4x5 even if they don't stick with it.

If you want very big sheets try Ilford products, go to Unique photo to purchase
it or someone like J&C photo for several brands of LF B&W films. Color
unfortunately is a becoming a truely dead issue for Very LF. Sad but true.

Ebay is a place to start looking for used backs, also like I said Betterlight sells used
refurbed 4x5 backs. So I hope I have helped you and not caused
you too much stress ;-)

Friends?
