The G-Claron (while it works fine at infinity) is also specifically corrected fo r close-up work, making it especially suitable. Bear in mind depth of field will be drastically less with a 300/8x10 vs a 150/4x5.

What about taking an old Dagor and reversing the elements? I have heard of that being done, but have never tried it.

Dagors are symmetric lenses.
