90mm lens with 8x10?

If that doesn't give me round pictures, I'll try the 65mm.

One good thing about old German plate cameras is that they were made to be able to use Hypergons - the 24x30cm (9.5x12") can focus a 35mm lens at infinity!

Forget to mention, I also use my 75mm Biogon on 8x10 to make full frame 1:1 macros.

Were you photographing those flowers, or cooking them?

So come on Neal, we want to see the photo you shot, not the camera :-)

It looks more like he was pollinating them!

I use my Schneider SA on my 4x10 (reducing back on the Canham) and that works fine, of course. I also use the 90 as a macro lens on the 8x10 as a little bellow extension goes a long way.

With all due respect to the original poster, why don't you try it. I know you could focus a 75mm with the regular back and I'm pretty sure you could do it with the 45 reducing back, it just depends on how far that reducing back sets the GG away from the back of the lens. With the back rolled all the way to the front and the standard all the way leaned in, it should work fine. Try it and tell us.
