David said:Regarding the 7x11 format I must announce a new baby. I've wanted a 7x11 for several years and finally found one and just received it. It is a Korona in like new condition (bellows are brittle and shot though) with 4 film holders, the extension rail, the support struts and a 5x7 and 8x10 back adapter.
In line with the history question, does anyone know how popular any of these odd formats were?
JG Motamedi said:It is interesting to note that plate sizes from the 19th century are all 1:1.3. Thus, a half plate (4.25"x 5.5") isn't exactly half of a whole plate (6.5" x 8.5"), but rather half of the length trimmed down to the proper ratio. The only modern size which uses anything close to this ratio is 11x14.
You left out television

Tim... the back on my Kodak 2D is used in either the horizontal or vertical position.

David said:The back is removable and can rotate like most LF backs so 7x11 verticals are easy as anything. The back is 13" square (330mm). It has 35" of extendion and is surprisingly rigid. The front has rise and shift and the back has swing and axis tilt. I'm certain it has had very little if any use and has just been stored for decades. The camera gods have smiled.
