I actually moved down a size for these :) Largest I've made this far is 11x14. These are 9.5x12. Made for a friend I'm having try these out for a final round of testing before I finally launch these as a product. Same design though. I expect the basic design and approach should for many sizes.

Yep! The 15mm is incredible, but it's underwater only (it's unusably blurry above water). It also can't take filters. But the hybrid lenses are great too and also very sharp above or below. The III is also well regarded as being easy to maintain and more reliable too.

I don't have a III, but I do have a V (uses the same lenses). While it'd be wise to have it checked over if you plan on taking it underwater, many of the lenses work above and below water. Under water the lenses are _incredibly_ sharp. Congrats on the camera!

So far my favorite photo (of the ones I've developed) from our trip to Cozumel last week.
Taken with a Nikonos V with the 15mm lens using T-Max 400 and developed in XT-3 replenished.
Really excited to print this one properly in the darkroom!

I'm hoping it's similar to the larger papers and expect it would be for RC paper. You would align the paper to the markings on the easel and then lower the top. Fiber might require holding it with your hand while doing so to prevent it from moving around.

A small tease :) I suspect 11x14/12x16 will require additional tweaks, but this is the CAD for what the 8x10 design looks like simply scaled up to 12x16 dimensions.
One likely change is the location of the finger notches since it's easier to pull the top up from the long side.

I think 12x16 is within the realm of reason. My goal is at least 16x20. Shipping/logistics becomes the bigger issue at the larger sizes I haven't evaluated yet. The basic design/approach though I think should be able to go rather large.
