Anyone can use softboxes with success but complex hard lighting is something very different, where you need a lot of experience.
Kind of extinct style.
Thats why I like him too.
Thanks for sharing.

Here is an interesting thread, related to “180mm & 8x10” topic:

Andrew, interesting...

Daniel, it looks like it marked as f/3.9
Interesting find.

12” Dagor
Fujinon 250/6.7

All of them are in use from MF roll back to 18x24

This one is pretty much adorable.
And one of the best Meyer Plasmat performance I’ve ever seen.

Same here.
And Cibachrome A 30x40 drum fits two 8x10 sheets.

IRS or tax inspection of any kind is not a problem leaving price tag on the listing if listing is just closed with separate announcement. Listing closure does not mean sale evidence.
In the contrary...

I’m using expired Svema from ~ 1990 in 9x12, 13x18, 18x24 format in sheets (not precut aerial film).
Film base is slightly thinner than conventional film.

There is strong variation in quality...

Magic of big contact print.
That’s my subjective criteria.

It seems nobody mentioned triplets.
Taylor Hobson Cooke Anastigmat series II in this focal lenght (shutterred) is not rare find.
Dallmeyer, Ross, Wray, Zeiss, Meyer (and others) made them.

As long range and ultra light bacpaking / hiking afficionado I’m wondering how to merge it with LF.
Hardly possible, too much effort with a lot of compromises.
3D printed fixed focus camera...

And it is.
But when you have time and will to hike for 20 miles with 1 km elevation gain LF affairs gets a bit complicated.
It was real fun.
To tell more the camera was on my hands for a few weeks...

Firstly, I have no intentions to advocate or promote such "extremities".
But sharing this setup I'd would say at right conditions and some experience it works to me.

Good point.

And Kodak wratten gels are still around, patience and luck pays off.
