Are you looking for a banquet camera? I have used 20x24 repro cameras and 8x10 cameras, but those are out of my league.
Isn't there a thread about not being rich enough to shoot film?

Dick Arentz has created beautiful platinum/palladium prints from negatives taken with 12x20 banquet cameras.

You should get Kodak to cut you some Ektar for them... 😉

No sir, I am not. But wow, what great contact sheets those would make. Doesn't Freestyle sell film that large?
anyone read the Doug Busch interview in View Camera Magazine July/August 1990 issue?
I have not been able to find a copy.

Well I did find a copy, and its a large fascinating article. According to the article Golden Busch cameras in 8x10, 11x14, 8x20, 12x20, 16x20 and 20x24 formats were produced 1980-85. Total production only "about 24" plus "a lot of prototypes." The company ceased camera production after a business partner pulled out. There was also at least one 40x60 camera.
I had no idea these cameras were so rare. Six formats and only about 24 produced.

Sounds like fun cameras to use, especially the 11x14 and up. With that few, they may end up on collector's shelves.
