Hi All,
I've only ever shot digital and in the last year got into Polaroid and now have a fascination with wet plate and would love to try my hand at it. I picked up a set of rails and ground glass, and now need a lens board and lens. Fortunately I was donated a 135 f4.7 Schneider lens to get myself going, but really love the look of petzval lenses.
The guys over at Bostick-Sullivan suggested I don't invest too much money in 4x5 since he knows I'm keen to learn and move up to 8x10 once I figure it out. What do you guys think? Petzval now or later? Do 4x5 Petzvals cover 8x10 or would I realistically need another lens?
