    Metrogon 8x10 lens

    Hello,

    Has anybody actually used one of these 6" B&L Metrogon lenses which allegedly co ver 8x10?

    How do they compare to a protar V or other classic lens?

    I believe Mr. Grimes has worked with them and gone to the trouble to mount them in 3 % shutters. You might e-mail him. In the meantime, I'll let Sheldon Hambrick regail you with his experiences.....

    Metrogon 8x10 lens

    Hi Erik,

    Does this interest in wide angle hallmark a change in artistic vision? What will only one or two days of sun light left in Seattle for this year, could this indicate a close-up and expanded textural vision of rain, in muted grays?

    Best regards, David

    Metrogon 8x10 lens

    Actually I'm just figuring if my lens is wide enough it won't matter so much which way I point it -- something interesting is bound to show up in there somewhere. This is bound to lead to an improvement in my pictures.
