Can anyone explain to me the procedure of using a Sinar Bright screen for an 8x10 Sinar...

Does it replace the GG or work in conjunction with the GG..?

You need a Center grad filter w/ the 47mm 5.6 XL to cover 4x5" without all the light fall-off...

Also you will need a recessed lens board..

The 210mm 5.6 XL Aspheric SS was made for 100% distortion free images to be made on an 8x10 for Architecture in mind....

It is also corrected for 1:3 lifesize lending it's self to pretty much everything on the planet...:)

Also,, You can make a 115mm 6.8 Grandagon N a decent wide angle by use of a center filter .... It has a image circle of 294 @ f22 infin.

It works great but you will lose 2 stops for the effort... Or you could get a center filter for the 90mm 5.6 XL SA and it will work w/ 8x10" stopped down....

Steve

One more way to go if you have a deardorff.. Get a 90mm 5.6 XL SA and use a 4x10" splitter for 2- 4x10" panos one one sheet...

The deardorff has a shift built into the front standard that is tits for shifting without moveing the bellows...

I'd like to think of the 210mm 5.6 XL Super Symmar "Aspheric" as nice lens in low light situations... Not to mention the best lens on earth..

I just bought a 13" Busch Rapid Aplanat mounted on a Thorton Pickard roll shutter and am very happy with it....! I had it mounted on an 8x10 Sinar and could find the edge of the image... It's been listed on other sites as covering 7x17" ...I wish I could post a photo taken from this lens ,,, very sharp and detailed images with a unique color..

Steve

Please let me re-state that,,, My dream Sinar would utilize a 5x7 rear standard for a Sinar P front standard.... The 50" special bellows tapers to the 5x7 but not sure the board size....

I know Sinar makes 11x14 backs up to 12x20 .. and they might also taper to the larger standard size.... Not sure but would like to know..!
