    Re: Modest wide for 8X10...?

    Hi Randy,

    I'm not seeing any mention of the discontinued Rodenstock 210/5.6 ApoSironar (W). I like mine
    on 8x10. It is big and heavy with great optics. Similar also is the Schneider 210 SS HM....

    Re: built your own tripod?

    Hi Bill,
    One option utilizes wood or aluminum crutches and a web search will
    give you some information on specific designs--these are used also

    As you suggested the 300 sironar is a heavy lens an will be unwieldy
    on the Walker. Consider something lighter such as a Nikkor 300 M
    or a Fuji 300 C or A. I use the Fuji 300 A on...
