Randy, I really don't know. I shoot flowers and such closeup and landscapes, not people, so I have no idea what magnification a pleasing head shot on 8x10 requires. I can sort of visualize it, but I'm just not sure what good practitioners do. Please help me out by telling me typical magnification.
Oh, and by the way, I believe the lens is a telephoto. If so, perhaps not the best possible for closeup. But with wet plate, who knows. Several years ago I gave a 914/8 B&H monstrosity in horrible condition to a wet plater. I told him how ugly the lens was, how horrible the glass, and he replied that it would be good enough for wet plate.
