Wow - a dozen replies in (less than) a day! Thanks to everyone who replied!
Allow me to pick your brains a little further:
Good point about the added foreground, but I will be above ground. Basically, I am trying to do some hyper-detailed landcapes a la Massimo Vitali (If you are in the mood check out
http://www.massimovitali.com/ - such awesome work..).
Now, I don't know how the hell he gets those super wide shots (I reckon its gotta be a 150, no?) and must use some front movement to get the perspective right (it's shot from a platform 3m over the ocean), and still has no distortion or falloff.....
Years ago, shooting wide on 4x5 I often had trouble with falloff (LOTS!) if I used any rise or tilt. I can't remember what lenses, they were hired, but they must've been rotten ones.
In a nutshell: I need a very wide, super sharp lens for 8x10 with lots of coverage, minimal distortion and falloff. If anyone can advise on the likely lens for this kind of work, do let me know.
If you are selling such a lens (150 SSXL or 165 SA?), also drop me a line.
Thanks everyone!
