150xl on 8x10 80xl on 4x5

[Ole Tjugen]

"i am currently conversed in using the 80xl on 4x5 which gives me (according to the specs here) 35cm of front rise in portrait orientation. how does this compare with the 44cm of portrait front rise on the 150xl on 8x10?."

Quite a lot more rise with the 80xl and 4x5. With 4x5 film in portrait position 35cm of rise is about 28% of the film area. 44cm on 8x10 film is only about 17.6%.

Millimeters, not centimeters I assume?

44cm on 8x10" in portrait position is 176% of the film area. 44mm, however, is 17.6%.

Damn the metric system anyway. : - ) Yes, I meant mms not cms, thanks for the correction.
