Hi everyone,
My name is Kevin and I am fairly new to the forums!
I'm researching 16x20 cameras and I've gone through many posts, searched this website's
database/pdf files, and exchanged private messages with some amazingly friendly/kind/sharing people
like: MAubrey, xfrench, benrains, and DolphinDan (Thank you!).
I thought the best place to start was researching lenses.
*Side Note, I think I might try to build a 20x20 camera so I can shoot portrait and landscape
orientations - not sure if that will be a problem with the lens selection.
Here is my list so far.
For wide lenses I need something that can shoot full body in portrait orientation, and maybe (if
it's not asking too much) in landscrape orientation.
Here's the list:
Nikon Nikkor-M 450mm f/9 (I think this lens can do everything except landscrape full body).
APO Symmar L 480mm f8.4 (S version will not work)
Fuji Fujinon CM W 450
Rodenstock APO Sironar N 480
Schneider APO Artar 480
For a portrait lens I am looking to be able to shoot 1:1 head shots, head and shoulder and finally
half body in portrait orientation and possibly half body in landscape orientation.
Here's the list:
Goerz Red Dot Artar 24" (I think this lens can do what I'm looking for)
Fujinon-C 600mm f11.5 (I think this lens can do everything possibly).
Apo Nikkor 600/610 f9
Apo-Ronar-CL 600mm f11
APO-RONAR 600mm F9
We'll, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Thank you so so much for reading all of this.
If anyone has any opinions, recommendations, personal experiences please feel free to share here or
you can PM me or even email me at toyo8x10@gmail.com.
For everyone that made it this far....check out this new science news research about 3d printing
small lenses...I hope one day we can all 3d print our own lenses at home and be able to share the
design with everyone in the world.

Thank you once again. Take care everyone!
Cheers,
