I will be shooting "primarily" 5X8 as my color transparency film. I would also like to do some color work with 4X9.5/10 and 6X9.5/10. I may well stick with 5X8 and maybe 4X9.5 as my primary use of color. It will all be done on an 8X10 camera that will use longer lenses for the primary use of my work that will include the above format sizes up to 8X10.
What I am looking for is a wide wide angle lens to cover the color work of my outfit. I have seen posts of people using the 90XL WITH movements on a 6X10 Wisner. I know the 90XL will work fine on the 5X8 and 4X9.5/10 sheet as well.
1) Does it make any logical sense to use the 90XL for the above formats, or should I be looking into the 110XL/120SW as my lenses of choice for the formats?
2) I know that using a center filter can actually cause issues when you are right at the borderline of coverage with a format. At what format sizes above, would the 90XL require a center filter for my color work?
3) Does it make better sense to sacrifice the focal length and move to a 110XL or Nikkor 120SW?
4) If using the 110/120, would I still need a CF when shooting the smaller sizes and color film?
5) I have heard Schneider actually says not to use their 3B filter for the 110XL due to the thinness of the filter required. I have read many places where the 110XL would be better suited with a Heliopan CF since they are thinner.
6) Last question...does it make much sense to even shoot color work with the 6X10 format vs. the 5X8 format?
A ton of questions. To have some questions answered or all at once is a-ok.
Thanks Everyone for your contributions and help with me finding the wide wide that will suit me best!
