The sun..o contact print 8x10 platinum or aristotypes
Of which is currently being used by a friend on a optical table for scientific work. As a 4x5 enlarging lens it is beyond overkill. At 2x the optical performance of the Goerz Magnar far exceeds any B&W print paper to absolute pointless excess. Best aperture for the Goerz Magnar is f8.
Fave 4x5 print making lens is the 180mm APO Nikkor, it is excellent in every way. Fave for 5x7_13x18cm is are the two Goerz APO Artars they equal the APO Nikkor in print making capability and performance. Enlargement-magnification ratio for sheet film never exceeds 4x.

I need to make a light for exposing 8x10 contact prints. I have many 8x10 negs from 25 years ago to print. I am thinking Lomida souped in Ansco 130 to start. I'm also thinking about using the box to split filter 8x10 contact print with fibre VC paper. I do have a set of large Multigrade filters I bought for this purpose.
Also maybe an Omega E6 with Omegalite head. About time I got busy with my 5x7 Norma.............. I have all the big chrome Componons up to 360mm.
I'm totally comfortable using graded paper, right now I prefer it.
16x20 is as big as I will ever go.
