[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks, Lluis. The lens' maximum aperture is f//16, so low light is not much of a possibility. It is of 8 inch (200mm) focal length probably designed to cover something similar to 5x7 film or plate. I have an old 5x7 camera, and a 4x5 Graphic, but no holders or darkroom, so landscape work is beyond my capability. On my 4/3 sensors, the field of view is equivalent to that of a 400mm telephoto. I could fit it to a 35mm SLR and use full frame, but that is really more work than I can handle at the present time. It would still only capture the center of the lens field.
