    F/1.4?

    in Large Format

    Posted

    I'm interested in extremely shallow DOF for landscape shots, something around a few feet in focus from a

    distance of 100 feet. To get there I obviously need some really low f numbers. The smallest I've found is

    the Schneider Xenotar's 2.8.

     

    Is there some reason why we don't see a lens with F/1.4 in 8x10 photography? I played around with a

    program called LensForge to see if I could just scale up a 35mm lens and it seems to work, but I'm no

    expert.

     

    Any suggestions for extremely shallow DOF are appreciated.
