    810 portrait lens

    If you can choose a lens for 810 portraits, what would be your choice?
    Ok, here is the condition, it must be compatible with modern shutter (including sinar DB shutter). I know that Heliar 360 is compatible with sinar DB shutter. (ok, I am not confident with packard shutters)

    Re: 810 portrait lens

    For a tight portrait, I'd have to say any modern 360 mm lens will do.

    But I like shooting full length portraits, not just tight on the face, so prefer any modern 240 mm lens. I happen to use a Nikkor.
    When I grow up, I want to be a photographer.
