Based on a brief conversation with Kerry Thalmann at the LF format conference here in Springfield, I went ahead and just picked up a Graphic Kowa 150 f9 off of Ebay and will send it to SKGrimes for mounting.
Before I send it and pay for the shutter:
What is the coverage of this lens? I shoot 4x5, 5x7, 4x10 and 8x10. Would it cover the 4x10 and what about 8x10 when stopped down?
Does it fit in a Copal 1 or 0? My understanding is that it should probably be a straight fit.
Does it gain a stop by placing it in a shutter?
I realize there is a lot of info out there regarding the Computars/Graphic Kowas, but most focus on use of the 240 and possibly the 210 for ULF. I have found far less direct info regarding the 150 lens.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Sincerely,
Hany.
