Hello,
I recently purchased a Chamonix 8x10 and the fuji 250 f6.7 as a first lens.
I did an extensive research on the 300 to 360 mm options for a second lens. I am considering a 360 mm to avoid perspective distortion in headshots and general photography/landscapes. 360 mm seems to be expensive or heavy or both.
It probably doesn’t make sense to put a symmar 360 on the front of a lightweight field camera…?
What is your lens recommendation for a 360 or 14” on a chamonix 8x10 for portrait and landscape?
I am thinking about the Kowa graphic 360 f9, the 14” commercial ektar or the fuji W 360 f6,3.
There is little info on how the kowa graphic draws and i haven’t found the weight of the commercial ektar yet. Based on its weight, the fuji is probably a better option than a symmar, but at the double of the price, i consider it overpriced (1200€ Or 600-800€ + import taxes).
Or is it better to forget about a 360mm and look for a g-claron 305 or something else?
Thanks for your advice!
Steven
