I would like to purchase a portrait lens for a series that I am planning for this Summer. It would be wonderful if I could use it for close-ups of flowers as well. I am thinking of the look one gets with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 4.5/210 (that nice, soft background, or 'bokeh'); However, I would prefer to have a lens in shutter and I am now thinking along the lines of a Kodak Commercial Ektar (8.5in or 10in).
I will be using it on both a Linhof Master Tech 4x5 for the flower close-ups and on a 5x7 for the portraits. Researching this Forum and other sources suggests that the Kodak Commercial Ektar might suit my needs and they seem to be available and reasonably priced. Am I on the right path...?
As always, thank you for your thoughts and advice.
