Hello,

I'm looking for a lens that will work with the 24x24 wet plate camera I'm building. I'm going to be using this camera for portraits, so the lens only needs to cover that size at around 1:1.

I've come across a Carl Zeiss Jena Apo Germinar 600mm f9. I've heard it's specs are usually measured at an aperture that's stopped down a bit (where it's intended to be used for reproduction) — but I'm wondering if the image circle will cover that size wide open (since it's wet plate) at f9?

Thanks,

Ross
