For probably the next 10 years, this was my LF outfit.
In the 1980s found an 11x14 Improved Empire State view camera, 2 holders, and a 508mm f/7 Caltar. For the next 20 or so years that was my ULF outfit.
Would love to know which is your favorite one lens for your LF and ULF camera.
For me:
4x5: 178mm 7 inch f/3.1 Darlot Portrait (Petzval)
Whole Plate: 210mm Nikkor
8x10: 12" f/4.5 Wollensak Velostigmat... my first 8x10 lens
11x14: 508mm f/7 Caltar. again my first 11x14 lens
