Hello,
I've recently acquired a deardorff v8 and am still trying to educate myself on the new format. I have the option of using/possibly purchasing a calumet caltar pro series 8 1/4" 210mm lens with a copal #1 shutter (my friend has it mounted on his 4x5), however I'm curious if this has enough coverage for my 8x10?
Is the difference between the copal #s simply which format they're compatible with? If so, which copal is optimal for 8x10?
Also, when looking at lenses, I understand the image circle is a means of determining if it covers your format, but where do I find this info? Is that what the 8 1/4" figure is stating on this particular lens?
Lastly, in regards to the above, what is the image circle minimum of 8x10?
Thanks for bearing with me here... Total LF rookie
Elias
