Affordable 12x20 lenses

[MintTin]

Sorry if the reception committee seemed harsh. But then again, we might be forgiven for expecting something different from someone who's been "around the block". Pursuing old processes is demanding and expensive enough. So is ULF. Put them together and you have a very tall order. There are some very talented and knowledgeable people on this forum. And they've all had their dreams, too. You can learn a lot from them if you want.

Im fine with harsh. Sarcasm is childish and frankly, pathetic.

Wow the reason why I ask is because what I use for 11x14 cost me $55 shipped. Its not my first time around the block. Im not on here with 4k post because im busy shooting with the other people that came and left.

Cool. Can you leave now too?

Set phasers to "ignore."

But I'm thinking I need to just find a lens that is cheap and somewhat available first. Love the forum btw, glad I found it!

Hope you still like the forum...
It's pretty hard to find something less than $200 that will cover 12x20 with some movements. Bite the bullet and spend a few hundred or consider making your own with meniscus lens. Good luck!

May I ask what lens this is? Maybe that will generate some ideas.

I picked up an Ilex 15" Process Paragon some time ago for about 40.00. This lens is sharp and covers my 1114. You can find them on the bay all the time.

Man If you could only capture your sarcasm you would be world famous.

Sir - this is Jim's style, it's not imo sarcasm - JG is one of the best resources around this forum, people do want to help you - they just post with their kind of humour

you can't 'shoot' imo 24 hours a day, people on here shoot for part of that time and give what they have remaining, generously, for the benefit of all on here

......................just my few cents worth

You might want to take a look, at the Agfa Repromaster 213/9.25. It can be found very cheap, and should cover 12x20.
But I don't know if you like it this wide.

and there's also the 240mm version too
