G-Claron 270mm or Fujinon-C 300mm - Which one should I keep ?

[jocl123]

I am doing 95% 4x5" (when I find time for photography)
But the G-Claron would be the only lens covering 8x10" but I need to get rid of some lenses.
A good and nice advise would help.
Thanks, Jo

Sorry, but both the G-Claron 270 and Fuji 300C both cover 8x10. You'll have to make the decision based on your particular lenses. Take a bunch of side by side picture for comparison, and see which one you like best, if you're looking to sell one.

I'd keep the fuji.

Keep the Fuji. Send the G-Claron to me:rolleyes:

Sen me a pm and I'll mail you some images next week, hopefully when my mac is fixed.

The G-Claron is more rare. I would keep the one in factory shutter. Probably the Fuji.

I think I have both lenses in factory shutters.
Images attached.
I also include an image of the outfit so you can see what I am talking about.

Chamonix 4x5
Rodenstock Grandagin MC 4,5/90
Heliar 4,5/15cm
Schneider Apo-Symmar 5,6/180mm
Rodenstock 5,6/210mm (which I never use)
SchneiderG-Claron 9/270mm
Fujicon-C 8,5/300mm

Trade the 300 for a fuji 450mm

Thats an idea I will think about it.

I would replace both of them with the 300mm f9 Nikkor-M.
