hi,
i'm wondering how accurate one can expect a packard shutter to be on an 8x10 camera vs a sinar shutter on a 4x5 camera when using big brass shutterless lenses. i have experience with the sinar 4x5 setup but i am a little hesitant to moving on up to large packard shutters (over 3.5 in diameter) and the degree to which i will be able to accurately use the speeds such as 1/8 sec and 1/25 sec.
do most of you who use packard shutters under/over expose regularly? is it that bad?
am i better off with using the more reliable sinar shutter and 4x5 format for portraits (my main purpose) than an 8x10 camera with packard shutter inconsistencies? i realize there are 8x10 portrait lenses with shutters but i am only referring to those that are too big to fit in regular shutters and thus need packard shutters.
thanks for your great knowledge and insight!! :)
