This site is a repository for information I’ve gathered on large format cameras and photography. Yatsugiri (八切) is what the Japanese call “whole plate” format. Nominally 6.5×8.5 inches, it is thought by some to be an ideal format for view cameras, but it is not much used today. Similarly, large format photography is not much used today, but some consider it to be the purest photographic technique.
