Approximately what focal length do you get with the rear cell of the 240 G-Claron removed? I have a relatively recent one in a Copal shutter, which is why I'm curious.Originally Posted by Shutter
Wehman 8x10 + 240mm Claron-G (rear cell removed) + Fomapan 400
Thanks,
Dave
I think it was about 350-380mm @ f 13(?)... The rear cell has more focal length (420-450mm) but doesn't get very sharp, not even when stopped down.
I have another photo I took with the front cell, but I don't want to flood the forum
Thanks Christoph! I see the difference. I'll have to give it a try sometime, when I'm in the mood to experiment with 8x10 film! The shot above is just great. I appreciate your time.

You're welcome, if you need more specific informations on the lens cells I should be able to help you out in a week or two (I'm right now recovering from a minor surgery)
Thank you for the compliment!
Lovely image. If you try the rear cell only again there might be two factors to play with to try to get sharper images. 1) watch out for focus shift when closing down, and 2) use a yellow filter to remove the blue light (which may not be focusing on the same plane as the rest of the visible spectrum.)You're welcome, if you need more specific informations on the lens cells I should be able to help you out in a week or two (I'm right now recovering from a minor surgery)

Thank you! And thank you for the advice though I'm not quite sure how I could attach a filter, the rear cell doesn't have a filter thread if I'm not mistaken... but I'll give it a try!
Yes, there's one!
Stephane,
This is awesome perspective. Such motion, even with the tiny waterfall.
