    G-Claron 270mm or Fujinon-C 300mm - Which one should I keep ?

    I am doing 95% 4x5" (when I find time for photography)
    But the G-Claron would be the only lens covering 8x10" but I need to get rid of some lenses.
    A good and nice advise would help.
    Thanks, Jo

    Sorry, but both the G-Claron 270 and Fuji 300C both cover 8x10. You'll have to make the decision based on your particular lenses. Take a bunch of side by side picture for comparison, and see which one you like best, if you're looking to sell one.

    I'd keep the fuji.

    Keep the Fuji. Send the G-Claron to me

    The G-Claron is more rare. I would keep the one in factory shutter. Probably the Fuji.

    I think I have both lenses in factory shutters.
    Images attached.
    I also include an image of the outfit so you can see what I am talking about.

    I would replace both of them with the 300mm f9 Nikkor-M.
