I find myself using longer lenses of late. Recently bought a 600mm lens for the 8x10. The 4x5 will accommodate up to my 450mm. I'm tempted to get a reducing back for the 8x10, to see how the 600mm would look on 4x5. The 8x10 would also provide MUCH more stability for the 355mm and 450mm. In particular, macro work with the G-Claron 355mm (a monster) would be easier, and I could get a lot closer.
Do people use reducing backs for these sort of reasons? Or are they mostly used to hold 4x5 polaroid for testing exposure?
P.S. I don't do telephoto lenses...
