Could not help but notice this earlier today. Even if 5x8 is not around anymore this would dress up anyone's studio! Lot's more images on the 'Bay as item number 370351458147 or at the following URL (not the seller, do not stand to gain, etc.):

Actually, 5x8 is in current production. Chamonix is making and selling a 5x8 camera. And 5x8 film holders to go with the camera. Takes exactly half of an 8x10 sheet, no waste (so I've been told).

I just wish I had the money.

Yes, Shen Hao will make 5x8 GG backs as well. I use one with Chamonix holders.

And one sheet of 8x10 will make two sheets of 5x8 if my math is correct.

Yes, it cuts perfectly from 8x10. Also there is still fresh 5" roll film.

So, really, who bought it? Whoever did pretty much had to see it here because it went so quickly after it was posted. So...who was it? I'm not going to get all jealous or anything...I just want to know who to bug for pictures later.

Sorry to ruin a perfectly good conspiracy, Stephanie, but I think it had already sold this morning, well before I posted it!

Best,
