Hi all... I am quite new to the LF scene, and am slowly (very slowly!) getting the kit together for studio portraits.
I bought Ken's 300mm Heliar, and have a 19 in Goerz Artar.
I was pretty much coming round to the idea of a Sinar 10x8 with copal shutter... however, during my trawling of ebay, I came across an old auction of a guy selling a Color-Kardan - in his description, he put that the Sinar will not allow you to use big lenses (I am ONLY going to shoot in the studio - and was eventually planning to go as big as 24" lens for close ups)....
He stated that a Packard shutter is the only way to go for these big lenses.
Please can somebody give me the benefit of their experience and recommendations: as i mentioned, my needs are 8x10, portraits, studio only.
Many thanks all
