<p>Hi I also like this lens much for portraits, mine is at f 5.5 a bit soft but at f 8 it gets sharp and at f 16 its deadly sharp!<br>

So its the best in one lens!</p>

<p>Cheers Armin</p>

<p>If I would consider a 65 mm lens it would be the f 4 Nikkor 65mm and not anything else!<br>

Sometimes its important to get the best compromise!</p>

<p>Cheers Armin</p>

<p>If its exaxtly like the Horseman HF which is the pre Fa then not!<br>

It need a 40.5mm Filtertread in the front!</p>

<p>Cheers Armin</p>

<p>Why are you not using 400 ASA Film for example Kodak TMY 400 gives very sharp and even better shadow details and 2 more f stops!<br>

Then you should get f 16 easy with one flash!</p>

<p>My 2 cents, Armin</p>

<p>Switch to apple and smile forewer!</p>

<p>My 2 cts. Armin</p>

<p>Hi <br>

Good luck, Armin</p>

<p>I vote for a 75 mm I also had as my first lens a 135mm for 3-4 years only my second was the f 4,5 75mm Nikkor and still use it more then my later 90mm but I also use the 47 mm more then the 90mm.<br>

If the camera can handle the 75mm then I would take it!!!</p>

<p>Cheers Armin</p>

<p>For XTOL 1:1 would be a good starter time at around 8 min -10 min!</p>

<p>Cheers Armin</p>

<p>Hi Claude<br>

The rear diameter of the 300mm is 80mm and thad of the APO Symmar 360 is 90 mm in diameter!</p>

<p>Hope it helps, Armin</p>

<p>I have a 250 mm f 3,5 Tessar from Zeiss Jena and a f 4,5 300 mm from the same faktory!</p>

<p>They are quite sharp in the middle full open.</p>

<p>Cheers Armin</p>

<p>LF with film is on the long run saver, no virus can kill your pos or neg so fast as any virus.<br>

Booth worlds have there pros and cons and I like booth!</p>

<p>Cheers Armin</p>

I know the only right answer;--))))

I recommand a Sinar because its the only camera with a modern behind the lens shutter, so you can use any old portait

lens in front of thad shutter and get flash synchro and reliable times etc.

You only have to switch the back from 4x5 to 8x10 with the bellows and you can expand the camera in 4x5 with the sliding

back to a very fast shooting camera!!!

Sorry but I like the Ebony's but of course not in studio use just outside they are great!!!

Cheers Armin

No you really need a Sinar cable release!

Cheers Armin

The Rodenstock is an 80° lens and has a stated diameter of 352 mm covering power and this is can be expanded with stoping

down more then f 22!

Cheers Armin

Start to use the Fuji's Quickload and we will have them a bit longer!

I still have some Kodak in the freezer, which I will use the next 3-4 years!

Cheers Armin

I would take the Nikkor because it does not get schneideritis!

Hi

I worked for 3 years als aero photog in Switzerland with a Linhof Aerotronica 6x9 cm my most used shutter speed on this

cam was 1/800 sec. und sometimes 1/500 from a helicopter.

If I would do a shooting for not larger pictures then about A3 format I would at the moment hire a Canon with 21 Megapixels

and a Lens with IS!

Very soon I would use the Nikon 24 MP camera with a Nikon VR lens!

Only if you need the pics really large then I would use a 4x5!

Just my 2 cents, Armin Seeholzer

For the very soft portraits he used a Struss lens. Karl Struss was also photographer and later

also a very famous movie camera man!

Cheers Armin

Yes I recomand buy the Epson Pro 700 or 750 they are even better then the 4990!

Armin Seeholzer

HI Michael

He can't use a lense like the APO Sironar S on the FA it has the smallest lensboard I know

80x80mm. With the opening in the frontstandart of 65mm the Sironar S can't normaly

mounted! The only lenses at f 5,6 which fit directly is the Sironar N or the Nikkor W.

And of course all the slower lenses already stated!

Cheers Armin Seeholzer

Hi die F 1 and F2 are film based bad you can put a digital back on them if you buy an

adapter.

The f 3 and P 3 are made for digital backs but you also can put a RFH back to them and

use Rollfilm. Armin

I would recomand a 75mm for landscape not a 65mm which has almost no possibilitis of

shift etc.

Or if you have the money the 72 XL is of course a very fine lens!

My 2 cents Armin J. Seeholzer

HI

Or buy just a new one from Sinar for some 19 Swiss bucks!
