But C41 or slidefilms in 8x10 are like leaf gold. And interesting lenses in good condition with working shutters becoming scarce or are very expensive too… But the camera looks beautiful. Although like at most 8x10 field cameras i find the front standard looks a bit unsteady if someone plans to use heavy wide angel lenses… What does that camera cost btw? I assume some pricetag like a sportscar ceramic brakedisc? Edited September 12, 2022 by verwackelt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume some pricetag like a sportscar ceramic brakedisc? It's a snip at $110,000. You'd have to be scratching around for even B&W film prices after paying that (and the car of course). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

verwackelt Posted September 12, 2022 Share #8 Posted September 12, 2022 Maybe the just copy and pasted some Samsung smartphone pictures into that sheetfilm frame? "Only 75 units of the Gibellini GP810HP camera will be made, with the initial batch of 30 cameras being offered exclusively to current Pagani owners…" Most of the 30 Pagani sports car owners will probably wonder how they can drive up to the ice cream parlor with this device...

Marc B-C Posted September 12, 2022 Share #9 Posted September 12, 2022 If you can afford a Pagani, you can probably afford the camera. Sadly I suspect it will become a display item but if you can also afford the camera, you can afford the film. It is all relative. There will also be wealthy collectors who will buy the camera to display. I suspect some market research was done re the potential market and quantum before just releasing 75 of these to the world.

BernardC Posted September 12, 2022 Share #11 Posted September 12, 2022 Gibellini also makes one of the least expensive full-featured 8x10 inch cameras. I think they got more free publicity from this limited edition than they have from everything else they've done until now! By the way, 8x10 film isn't that expensive. Sure, each frame is the price of a hamburger, but the format isn't suited to high shot counts. Anyone can develop and contact-print at home if they stick to B&W. Colour is more work, and more expensive, but you can still find home kits. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted September 15, 2022 Share #12 Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) A hypercamera to go with the Pagani hypercar. For some reason, this article [ https://www.dpreview.com/news/2364159821/film-friday-car-maker-pagani-75-000-large-format-camera?fbclid=IwAR0dngtB_E5FRRy_XITvlde9l-P5YKTsvywLufv7XDfRnRZNJJaMVDZIV54 ] states the price of the The GB810HP as $75,000 rather than $110,000. Perhaps there is a coupon available for $35,000 off? I'm going to forward the link about the GB810HP to Mrs. Barnack - it may help to subdue her objections over the price of the M11 I'm working to acquire. 😎 Edited September 15, 2022 by Herr Barnack 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
