210 for 8x10

**Larry Menzin** · 3-Feb-2009, 18:48

I just found a 210mm F8 Super Angulon. This has to about the heaviest lens out there. I think it's the earlier single-coated version that weighs in at about 2.3kg. The final version exceeded 3kg. Who needs to lift weights to stay in shape!

That Repromaster looks interesting... can it be mounted in a shutter?
I think I read it can. Don't know what shutter in though. Mines not. SK Grimmes would be the ticket.

3kg? That's more than my entire 8x10 setup!

If you have the money it can be mounted.

The question should be is it worth the cost to mount. Shutter plus everything else. A new shutter alone is more then some of the lenses mentioned.

That's what I'm thinking... I might wind up just snapping up a Angulon 210 f/6.8.

I ended up getting an Fuji older W from Mpex. Only used it a few times so far but a fantastic lens! Great coverage for 8x10 and sharp as hell.
Thx. for all your help.

I just got my 210mm Super Angulon and I'm discovering the uses of a 500mm image circle. Used 50mm of rise with ease. The extra coverage is well worth the weight (at least for me).
