Alright, I finally have the money to buy a proper lens in a shutter for my 8x10 camera.
I had some Ebay auctions that ended yesterday and were better than I expected so I am left with a good amount of money to purchase a "proper" lens for my 8x10.
Im leaning most heavily towards a Schneider G-Claron 305mm f9 in a copal #1 shutter
or
a 305mm Kodak Commercial Ektar f6.3.
the kodak is a few hundred less but Im still wavering either way on which to get. The coverage is about the same for both and seems pretty adequate.
Im also considering a 250mm (10") Kodak Wide Field Ektar because of the wonderful coverage but I havent found one of those at the few places that carry LF lenses I have bookmarked.
any thoughts?
