Oh gosh, I'm itching to get out with my 600C, but it's been pretty wet and mucky lately. Might give the 8x10 a try tomorrow. Did some scouting shots with a 6x7 tele last wk, so pretty much already know what I want.

By gosh, good for you. Sloppy here too.
But we all know you will never post any image.

I simply couldn't justify the cost of a real film Nikonos for that kind of intermittent casual usage. And for awhile she had various digi 35mm cameras around for operating room documentation; but those were on loan from the clinic. The whole digi whatever is very low on my priority list at the moment. We do have a few cell phone shots around of Henry, our late great pet tree
squirrel. Those little BB wide-angle phone lenses really exaggerated his cute round nose.

Now an unfair comparison between Kang S600mm and Cooke 635mm Series IX in barrel.
Shot four 8X10 Ektascan X-Ray using strobes using a Packard shutter with sync for all four. With an 8X10 Linhof Kardan Color and lens hood. Exposure decided by DSLR + bellows factor 1/2 stop.
The Cooke shot at f10, Kang f11.5. Same light power. No filters. Einstein strobes were adjusted up 3 stops on both lenses to their marked f32.
I forgot to add the paper data sheet to the first Kang shot at f10. Distance to target was 11 feet.
Focus was on Plastica's stage right right eye highlight adjusted for FL initial wide open on both, but not refocused for f32. Only a small front rise, all other movement locked.
All scanned V700 at 2400 dpi. No spotting. PS converted to B&W with yellow filter, brightness raised 15 and contrast reduced -25. No sharpness applied anywhere.

Good job, Randy!
