  1. Re: Traveling by Air In July: How should I handle LF Film?

    I am not sure if you are referring to my post above (#35), but that was NOT checked luggage, that was carry-on with one of the new CT scanners. I would expect checked luggage CT scanners to have a...

    Re: 300mm lens 4x5" landscape

    Most ligtweight 300mm lenses have been listed already, but here is my take:

    1. "Regular" taking lenses:

    Nikon Nikkor-M
    Fuji Fujinon-C

    2. Process lenses that work just fine at infinity and...

    Re: Fake Schneider lens?

    Re: Enlarging lens image circle

    Which one? Componon, Componon-S, others? Schneiders MTF curves for the 300mm Componon-S are for an image circle of 364.5mm. Of course the usable image circle depends on your print size.
