Am ordering some more gear from Chamonix for May Lee my 16x20 camera. Will get her a single 16x20 film holder, a 16x20 wet plate back with inserts for also allowing 12x20 and 16x16 plate sizes. I will then have the ability to do 16x16, 12x20 and 16x20 tin types and ambrotypes as well as 16x20 film (HP5 or Adox).
The thinking behind getting only one holder is that I have a contact in the Czech Republic who might be able to make me a Chamonix style holder quite a bit cheaper. If so I could be buying 11x14, 14x17 and more 16x20 holders from him. Will see what happens.
Total cost for this Chamonix buy is $1745 USD.
