8x10 Close-up Lens

[howard s]

i have been using a 150mm lens for my 4x5 camera and like the length very much. what would be a sharp, corresponding lens for 8x10. any suggestions?

Nikkor M 300 or Schneider G-Claron 305

The G-Claron (while it works fine at infinity) is also specifically corrected fo r close-up work, making it especially suitable. Bear in mind depth of field will be drastically less with a 300/8x10 vs a 150/4x5.

What about taking an old Dagor and reversing the elements? I have heard of that being done, but have never tried it.

Dagors are symmetric lenses.
