Ok. Thanks. But maybe I need to rephrase my question:
I understand "macro work" and see the general usefulness of being able to stop the lens down to such insanely small apertures. Is this one reason for these small apertures? And doesn't diffraction work against picture sharpness then?
But what exactly is a "process lens" or "process work" ?

hi chris
might as well use it and see how you like it
a lot of people who do LF work use GClaron enlarger lenses. they fit in one of the copal shutters directly ( I think copal 1? )
and I think I remember reading over the years people love them so much they have created "casket sets". ( a barrel with a bunch of interchangeable
GClaron elements to give a variety of different focal lengths ) .. if you ever have to do copy work ( rephotographing things like objects, maps or papers or prints or negatives )
your lens will be great too... I use a tominon 127mm lens which was originally on some sort of polaroid copy/process camera all the time. it was sold as the taking lens
on the speed graphic I bought back in the day and it works great..
have fun with your new lens !
