300mm for Landscape

[Luis-F-S]

I thought the OP asked for recommendations for a 12" lens for landscape photography and gave several choices. Other choices were suggested for this consideration that he may not have been familiar with. That is what this thread should be about.

When using view cameras, hoods should be of the adjustable compendium type so you can adjust them relative to movements. Ground glasses are often clipped at the corners so you can look through them at working aperture and judge both lens coverage and whether or not a shade interferes.

The Nikkor M 9/300mm is an APO lens optimized for infinity focus.
It's a superb lens. I have one.

Congrats -- hope it works well for you! I often photograph in low light situations (deep forest), so I appreciate the extra light thrown on the 8x10's ground glass by my heavy Fuji W 300/5.6. But I have used 19" and 24" red dot Artars under the redwoods...they are slow but they work well. Enjoy!
