Hi all, I read many old threads about the 110 SS XL lens but I still feel the need to as k again for advice for my particular situation. I want to buy a longer lens to use with my 6x9/6x7 Arca FC monorail. I am shooting only architecture exteriors and streetscapes. I already have a 47SA XL, 65 SA, and 80 SS XL. I may have gott en too close together with the 65 and 80, but I do use both in situations where I cannot move the camera or there are obstacles.
I want a somewhat longer lens to do streetscapes, for diminishing perspective wh ich is less distorted than the wide angles give me, and town overviews from high er vantage points whenever possible. I often use the movements TO THE MAX. I sho ot color neg so I can fix any uneven tones in the darkroom. I like the somewhat muted look I get with Portra 160NC film and the Schneider lenses. I do not want a vivid or brittle sharpness, but good sharpness to the edge of the image circle is desirable.
In reading the old threads I cannot decide bewteen the 110 XL or the Digitar 120 . The latter, frankly, sounds too good to be true. Is the 110 really a big heavy beast?
Thanks, Sandy
