  1. Re: Shooting multiple formats (4x5 & 8x10) - separate lens sets, or one for both?

    I do not have what I would call a lens "kit" for my cameras. I guess I never really thought about it. When I find a lens I like I tend to stay with it for quite awhile unless something better pops...

    I develop by rotation quite often but I usually do it by hand so I can control the rate of rotation. I rarely use the Jobo itself unless I am developing color film. At the price of large format color...

    I do like TMAX films and shoot a lot of it in 35mm but I learned a long time ago that I could not afford to use it in 8x10 sheets very often if I intended to eat at the same time.

    Re: Century 11x14

    A Nikkor M 450mm f9 in a Copal 3 shutter is an option. I think the Goerz 19" Apo Artar is also in a Copal 3 shutter. These are big shutters but I believe they do cover 11x14.
