Hi all,
In my continuing quest for an 8x10 contact printing setup, I'm now debating whether to get a shutter. I already have a couple of barrel lenses, and was wondering if I should get a packard, or at least one lens w shutter. If a packard, which ones have the instantaneous setting? What size would I need for a calumet c-1 w 6in boards ? I figure if I'm shooting 100asa film at f64, that leaves me at about 1/2 in full sun if I expose at 50asa right? So other than for freezing motion, do any of you 8x10 shooters ever really need anything faster than 1/2 sec? Thanks,
GB
