If you are serious with LF, my advice is to go directly to 8x10. The best film is Kodak TMY2. Find a Kodak Master View camera.

The answer is very simple: Zeiss Dagor F9 21cm and 24cm. Also, a very good 210mm for 8x10 is the 210/5,6 Wollensak Pro Raptar.

I like your photographs and also your website. Best. LA

Thank you.
It was some land there. However, I did not recommend to do the same thing unless you are very skilled to chose the correct iceberg. Ded can be very close to you....

150mm and 180mm Zeiss Dagor f9

Eizo ColorEdge has 12bit/channel (look-up table) and 16-bit internal processing for grayscale rendering. For black and white photography this make a huge difference.

Unlike Apple (8 bit/channel) Eizo has 12 bit/channel. This is a huge difference which was easily seen when I compared my EIZO CG241W with a regular good monitor (Apple).
