Just bought this. Another Reinhart Wolf book circa 1980. Was not aware of this one. At Photokina Exhibition 1975, same title: "Faces of Buildings". To be added to my collection.

8x10 Sinar Norma Long Apo Ronar 2 by Nokton48, on Flickr

This is my 760mm F14 Rodenstock Apo Ronar, Glenn Evans forward mounted the lens for me. Here set up with the 5x7 Intermediate Standard, and the 8x10 to 5x7 Special Norma Bellows, custom made for me, by Keith at Custom Bellows. Camera set up for extreme close-up, covers about an 8x10" test target. See also the Norma 8x10 Sinarsix TTL Meter, and also the 8x10 Bag Bellows and Norma Monocular. So this is fully tricked out for my studio use. My new to me 1000mm F16 is not such a stretch, another 4x5 Norma Bellows will get me there. And then one more, for the Compendium Hood and Auxiliary Standard.

Daniel, your setup is right out of the Sinar catalogs of the time. Now, for proper effect when using the camera, you'll want to wear a white Hathaway dress shirt and a narrow black tie... and a dab of Brylcreem in your hair.

Or a white lab coat and pointy shoes. LOL

Actually my hair is now long and grey.

My shirts are black to avoid reflections.
