I've just turned 80, Judy is 74, and we're getting a bit too old for hauling 8x20 equipment around.
Here's how we worked as a team a few years ago...

Ah well, those days are behind us, so it's time to sell a few things.
Here's my entire outfit...
KB Canham Wood Camera, Walnut, 36" bellows, serial #81097
Two 8x20 film holders, a lensboard, & a ground glass protector,
Two soft carry cases, one for the camera, one for the film holders.
Also included: about 20~30 sheets Ilford HP5 film (2004, frozen). The bundle: $4500
The camera is in "Showroom floor" condition, pristine bellows, no loud scratches, no dents.
Standard 36" bellows, 158mm (6") Toyo/Omega lensboard. (the bigger board, for a big camera).
Technical spec's are here...
Dead Link Removed
These are the lenses I've been using on the 8x20 camera, they all cover with room to spare...
355mm f: 9 Schnieder G-Claron, s/n14586231 / Copal 3, on 158mm Omega lensboard $500
450mm f: 9 Nikkor -M, s/n 765814, Copal 3, on 96x98 (Technika compatible)/158mm dual lensboard $800
600mm f:11.5 Fujinon.C s/n 265451, Copal 3, on 159mm Toyo lensboard. $1200
More 8x20 double side film holders...
3 Wisner holders ("excellent"). Heavy. (3.3 lb/1500g ea.) $375 ea.
6 total custom made cherrywood holders ("Very Good"). Lightweight. (2.3lb/990g) $325 ea.
1 efurbished Korona holder, ("good") condition. Very reliable. (2.7lb/1215g) $195 ea.
My Zone VI tripod was a bit wobbly. A few hours in my machine shop resulted in a beefed-up tripod...
The tripod is upgraded with a heavy duty aluminum yoke & high torque industrial hand knobs.
Zone VI wood tripod with Bogen 3-way QR head & plate. $250
I needed a Dark Tent for loading film holders out in the field...
This 30" x 54" lightproof tent is large enough to change those big film holders.
A 20 minute set-up on a picnic table and you're ready to keep on shooting. $175
A bottleneck in the darkroom is film washing; here's my low flow gravity washer solution...
8x20 film washing tank. Dual chamber acrylic, 10-slot type.
You'll need to come over and pick it up, this beast is heavy ! Free
If you're in the Pacific Northwest, you're within driving distance of Portland OR / Vancouver, WA.
C'mon over, we'll share a brew, talk photo talk, and you'll go home with a set-up most folks only dream about.
All prices are + shipping, PayPal is ok (net $ to me).
Lot's of detailed photos of each piece of equipment are available, please ask.
