John,
How well does that 19" Artar cover 12x20?
I'm hoping to use that combo after I get the bellows replaced on mine.

Here is a list of things I'd like to have, in the LF field, I got also some other domains in which I got some kind of list:

Fujinon SWD 65
Schneider SS-XL 80
Fujinon C 300 8.5
Maybe a Fujinon soft focus, don't know which one
Schneider Fine Art 550 11 (just for the amazing object it is, I have no bellow that could manage it, even at infinity)

I have already a Fujinon SWD75, a Schneider Apo-S-L 120 5.6, and a Fujinon CM-W 210 5.6, on a Chamonix 45N-1

A Canham DLC645
A Razzle 900, maybe beige, or blue
A Linhof Master Technika 3000

A Gossen Starlite II

A Gitzo 2531 and
an Arca-Swiss P0

an enlarger LPL4752, or something like that, multigrade head please,

And a custom Haglöfs photo backpack to fit a camera, lenses and stuff inside,

free...

Make sure your camera bellows can function with the short lenses, this can be a rude surprise...Evan Clarke

Rodenstock 150mm f5.6 Sironar-S - well... I selected it only because of its sharpness
Fuji 210 W f/5.6

Ewww, yuck! Everything is sharp and multicoated! And they probably have working shutters, too...

How could anyone ever get a decent negative with that stuff???!!!

No worries - you can always place a layer of gauze or stocking over the lens. Last night I was contact printing and covered the printing frame with a layer of toilet paper. Wow! Instant soft-focus!

I'll have to look into that some more.

I get tempted to buy a greater range of lenses and other toys but when I look cold and hard at what "works" the best thing I should do is (other than save the money, lol) to buy exactly what I already have so I have redundancy.

Boring but guess who has more good pictures at the end of the day?
