I really need some advice here. I have a few Dagors and Artars for landscapes. Now I want to try some portraits. I have been thinking if Heliar is a good choice. From what I read, Deardorff can't take a 420mm Heliar due to the huge size of that lens. Is it practical to buy a 300mm or 360mm Heliar and mount it into a shutter? If so, which one is a better choice? Should I consider using a 5x7 reducing back for the 300mm one if the 360mm is too big for the Deardorff? I have seen amazing portraits of Heliar lenses. Thanks.
