Thanks for your review and all the other videos of information et al from 2022. I'm in the market for an Intrepid 8x10, perhaps easier as I only live an hour from where they are based in Brighton,UK. One thing regarding the fitting of the DD slide. Would it possibly reduce the chances of 'bodging' the camera if you took off the back standard to slide the DD in? I know by then attaching the back to the camera one runs the risk of misaligning the frame but perhaps it's less 'joggy' than shoving the DD whilst the back is on the camera. Just wondered if this would work any better. Regarding not being able to do anything with the negs other than pt/pd prints, what about contact prints? Obviously you're stuck at 8x10 but you can still dodge/burn choose grades and paper finishes. An 8x10 on a 12x16 paper would look pretty nice...ruby lith around the negative to leave the borders, I would think can make a nice print. Happy holidays ! PS...if you ever think it's hard work with an 8x10- watch this video ua-cam.com/video/oe5p3n65R7M/v-deo.html
Don’t buy this camera. Cheap plastic. Tabs to hold the ground glass or any film holder breaks. 30 seconds with the camera. @intrepidcamera doesn’t respond to social media messages. Poor customer service

If you “limit” yourself to platinum then yeah limited, but traditional prints can still be edited like any other!
