Hello to all 7X11 shooters.
I have read very little about the format but otherwise know it is the size of choice to go with IMHO for the ratio and the fact that one that argues for 8X10 can chop of 1" of the sheet and insert it in for a full 7X10 print, thank you.
With respect to how 7X11 has a bit more of the wide perspective, even wider ratio based than 5X7, what types of lenses do people use for their wide angles and also just a general all purpose lens that seems to do the magic with this format and contact printing?
I know many have used wide angles on 8X10 and know many feel that the contact print is not worth having when shooting wide angle lenses since the detail is too far away into the print to make it effective.
Just want to start up a 7X11 thread since I know many are going this direction due to the ratio, IC=basically the same as 8X10, and for those that didn't put an ounce of thought into it, you can make a "lot" of neat sizes in the 7X11 frame that you cannot do too well on with the 8X10 frame:
I.E. 7X11, 7X10, 7X9, etc...vs. 8X10, 8X9?...
