michael_sherck Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 This is *very* long shot but... if anyone knows of a place I can rent an 8x10 camera and a few holders in the South Bend - Mishawaka - Elkhart (Indiana) or Niles - Edwardsburg (Michigan) area, please drop me an e-mail. This is mostly a query to see if anyone who has one wants to rent it out for next weekend, as I know of no large-format stores in this area, let alone a place to rent one. Still, if you're a studio looking to make some extra beer money or someone who doesn't need yours for the weekend, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

tedharris Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Mike, Contact Badger Graphics in WI. They don;t advertise it but do do rentals (I have rented gear frpm them). You will likely pay them less than you would pay any of us who would do it ona casual basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly_flanigan1 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Not sure if Jacks Camera in Muncie rents cameras; but they do have LF equipment; and are a decent please to do business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_cudworth Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 If you can find one for rent in Indianapolis (or possibly Jack's in Muncie), I can bring it over to Turkey Run for you. I own several old view cameras, but all of them are smaller than 8x10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_sherck Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 Thanks for the suggestions, everyone: I've checked with Jack's and the places I know of in Indianapolis and can't find anyone who rents view cameras. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_stewart1 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Try Helix in downtown Chicago, they have a very large rental department. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_hohenstein Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi neighbor! I've been reading up on large format photography for a long time, but haven't touched a view camera since college. Do you know Danny Burke? Gene's isn't much of a camera store, is it? :) Charles in South Bend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
