ross_borgida Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Hi I was wondering if anyone has been able to get their hands on Shen Hao's 8x10 camera. I purchased the 4x5 one year ago and I love the camera!! It is beautifully made by G. Chen and is an absolute pleasure to use. I am ready to make the step up to 8x10 format. I make contact prints with my enlarger in my studio apt. in NYC and am ready to contact print with the larger negatives...yes, like all of you, I am addicted to LF photography. Does anyone know if the Shen Hao 8x10 is sold in the U.S.? Where can a camera be purchased? If not, is there anyone to get in touch with G. Chen regarding having a camera made..I know the Tachihara is the rival to the Shen Hao in budget LF cameras..However, I have heard better opinions on the Shen Hao vs the Tachihara..also, I am biased because I love my Shen Hao camera. Looking forward to hearing everyone's responses and don't let your cameras collect dust this weekend--go out and shoot!! ThanksRoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_shanesy Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I think the closest you're going to come is Robert White. I believe they sell the Shen-Hao 8 x 10. http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karnezis Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Bruce, I didn't see the 8x10 on Badger Graphic's web site. Did you call in and find out this information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent_lau Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Shanghain Shenhao Professional Camera Co., LTD. Manager: Zhang Fu-ming Tel: 86-21-63044161 Fax: 86-21-63024528 Email: zhangfm@online.sh.cn www.shen-hao.com/www.shenhao.com.cn The information above is from the name card given to me around 1 years ago when I was in Shanghai and I got the 8x10 from the company. Hope that this is helpful. I think it is really well-made 810 for LF with that amount of money. I got mine with 10,000 yuen (1US$=~8yuen). There was not much demand for 810 and they may not have any in stock, you may need to email Mr. Zhang, but it may take them 2-3 days to reply and I think it is because of the need someone to translate the email and reply the mail then.
