Guys I guess you all love complications, formulas and such. Why not make it the simplest way there? 1 sec -> x stops, 2 sec -> y..

Thanks Daniel, thats exactly what I gonna do. Alessandro Gibellini - maker of Gibellini folding cameras...

nice idea. Thank you.
Otherwise I'll drum scan in little format.
It's crazy I have to use negative film . it would be so easy to valuate positive transparencies.

How do they compare to Apo Sironars-S? It's tricky in LF when it seems there no technical comparison and all you can hear is "well... it's sharp."

I'd like to know that too... thought I am not going to shoot flat artwork.

There's a lot of apps that are helpful with LF.

I think it's easy. ..but really easy. I don't immagine myself standing there wondering about aperture or focus plane.
Just got a super-yuper carbon fiber Manfrotto tripod... the best money could buy...

thanks to all for your replies and opinions. In few days I got the knowledge I've been looking for. I'll go for Apo Sironars-S

My intent is to shoot 8x10, color negative film for big if not extreme enlargements (like 150 x 100 inches). I shoot contemporary art what means that I am not concerned about weight of lenses because...

Hello,
Is there a lens comparison resource / test website for LF lenses?
A place where one can see scores in resolution, vignetting etc? I am new to LF photography and while choosing lenses to buy...

am I right sensing that basically no one manufactures new lenses for 8x10 and bigger that's why we are left with what was there for decades?

have anything changed here since 2004? Any news or new choices?
I am mostly concerned about optical quality rather than weight or price.

thanks!

I also would like to know how Chamonix compare to Gibellini. Let's say 8x10 models.

Somehow in google spreads it says "the file is in trash, do you want to make a copy?" etc - is it me or something should be done by the owner of the file?
