    David, shot on my Deardorff SC11, 11X14 film with Nikon 610 mm f9

    Cannot recall shooting aperture, no PS, scanned on V700 so image area shown is about 8X10

    Nice shot! How many lights did you use?

    The thing about head & shoulders is that many shorter lenses with smaller image circles will now cover the film format at that magnification. If you want something with a large aperture, a 360mm or even 300mm f/4.5 tessar would do the trick nicely. I've also used a APO-Ronar 480mm f/9 that's worked well--nothing scanned though.

    Of course the question then is: what kind of compression do you want in your subjects features?

    I use the Ronar 480 also

    I do need to try my two 300mm f4.5 Wollensak back to back, one is SF and the other normal, but each uses a different flange which is slowing me down

    But the shorter lenses put my huge SC11 too close to the subject

    I like the portrait's depth, impressive... big format is big format...

    Just spent $20 and bought a pair of used lights with two 2' square soft boxes last weekend. I will give them a try.
