  1. Re: Rodenstock 360mm f4.5 eurygon from 1945-1951

    While any lenses can be used portrait lens, but by definition of classic "soft focus" lens, the Eurygon is not likely in that category. But being a triplet design and at that focal length shooting at...

    Re: Best 8x10 camera for ultra-wide angle?

    I think any cameras that can move the rear standard independently toward the front(hence avoiding the protruding front rail/bed) should in theory get the Nikon SW120 to focus . Obviously there are...

    Re: 11x14 Lens Options?

    Hi Michael, given even the Computar 210mm can fully cover(or as the fashioned word here, illuminate) 11x14 dead centered straight on, so in theory corner clipping should not have happened with the...

    I'll add a couple more lens options that have not been mentioned, to begin with the wide end, a 9" Wollensak 11x14 Series IIIa Velostigmat EX WA. I have also used the 150mm Nikon SW on 11x14, but it...

    Re: 4x10 how does it work and what do I need

    Yeah, it's somewhat more rare in a typical field camera design, unlike in more modular studio platform like a Sinar, where the format change option is part of its design.
