After some experience with 4x5 Sinar I decided to go higher.
Now I have combination
Sinar F 4x5
Sinar P 5x7
Sinar P 8x10
Soon (it means in 2 months) I will be able to make contact prints 13x19.
I promised myself to own 20x24 camera (wet/dry - probably only glass plates)
So far few samples of large photography scans.
5x7
8x10
This was my first one taken with 8x10 back - not quite good. But just an example. It was taken with shacking hands and fear what it will be. I have to make a scan again.
Below photos were taken in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada - 55miles from Las Vegas

This is not impossible even without such big view camera. You can make such prints if you have good quality photo printer, jet or pigment one. You can scan negative or convert any photo to negative. Then just print it and make contact print. Of course contact print frame is necessary. I have already 21x25". Just in case if I will decide to order negative in lab. Then it will be print 20x24". This weekend I am going to make first contact prints in cyanotype, If I would have time, maybe in VDB. I love it, look at http://p1ot3.eu/unplugged/ , This is my friend site

Voitek,
Having a closer look to your pictures, I notice traces in the sky on the landscape shots. I'm wondering what it is : "development" traces on the paper or real traces ? If they are real traces, it's fun because we see a kind of face in #5.

I was in hurry, there are marks from cloning dust spots.
I really appreciate all warm comments and opinions, thank you

HO, I'd missed this! Yes, quality shots. I now understand that want for larger and larger format. Now that I've gotten a little used to 4x5, I'm now lusting after 8x10 
Looking forward to more shots!!

This is only just way to be more impatient and curious waiting waiting for moment you finally can take look at fixed negative. Love digital but film does differet. Regarding range of view camera backs - I made decision. Alredy received contact printing frame 21x25. I swear - it is very, very heavy. I found that my friend who build 4x5 wooden camera is interesting to work with me on developing 20x24 camera.

I am getting confused, 4x5 is inches and 20x24 is centimetres, yes? Is there a reason for the different units?

In large photography 20x24 is always about inches, YES it's confusing because in discussion people always mixed cm & inches. Also much more advanced photographers then me
