This is in regards to my post "Barrel lenses". These lenses are quite large 100 and 110mm across the rear elements. I want to use a single packard shutter for both lenses, but a 4" shutter is 7" across O.D. I would like to put a shutter behind a 6" lensboard. These will cover 20X24 and be used on 8X10. They are 420 & 480-830 5.6 FL. The thought is, not only a smaller shutter, but also to cut down on bellows flair some. I will still use a Lee shade. I don't think it will cut into the image, and using small apatures as I would be for landscape, would not affect exposure. I intend to make collarl to go around the lens barrels to attatch my monopod to support the front of the lens. So I think I have that concern covered. Is my thinkin ok, or is this just a brain fart?
Thanks, John
