Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 24.6cm X 19.6cm, from a 8x10 Fomapan 100 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a 610mm f9 Apo-Nikkor lens. The 5 second exposure was executed by removing and replacing the lenscap. Lens aperture was f128 but the tiny amount of image diffraction is invisible in a 8x10 contact photograph.

Very nice AlanButler57
This is an intimate landscape scene I shot yesterday at Reid state park, Georgetown Maine. First is with the 7.25" verito, then the 9" gundlach hyperion. They were both mid f4-5.6 aperture which controls the softness. The verito has some excitement in the out of focus highlights, perhaps because it's sorta wider than it was likely intended to be used. (soft focus was intended to be for longish lenses for portraits and such rather than "normal" field of view) Both lenses do a good job given enough practice.
I do have a 8.75" verito I could have brought to compare, but I don't go into the woods to test lenses; the different fields of view are handy when there is exactly one spot you can put your camera without other trees and branches being in the way preventing my normal zoom with your feet preference.
Thanks.
And this is another one, made on the same day. Again with the 6x17 pinhole.

And because 6x17 is not really LF.
This is a new edit of a 8x10 pinhole, that I posted some time ago.
