A poll- Everyone likes a poll...
I'm building a new 11x14 camera, and there has been some talk of 11x14 lenses here recently-
I'm interested in what people typically use on their cameras, a favourite lens, or lenses, if the poll allows- I'm not sure if I've made a poll before-
Since 11x14 allows for high magnifications, I'd like to build that into the results-
so if, for example, you shoot distant landscapes on a 300mm lens, then the length will remain close to 300mm, but if you shoot portraits on a 450mm lens, then your bellows draw could be double that, depending on how close you go. Similarly with still life, perhaps your extension will be a little bit more.
So, disregarding the length engraved into the barrel, what is the typical distance between lens and film?
I've given options in Metric, but I plan on using lenses marked in inches too...
If you're interested in ticking a box, well thank you, if not, well I hope I haven't taken too much of your time...
The reason for the poll might become apparent at some point in the distant future- if ever I get this thing finished...
Thanks a lot-
joseph
