8x10 & 11x14 lenses

Post by Peter B » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:24 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Just a quickie to say that Peter Walnes' site is showing some lenses to cover these sizes if anyone is on the lookout, but it looks like quality doesn't come cheaply! :shock:

Aficionados of the 11x14" format (or should we say : 14x11" in the UK ? ;) ) can have a look at this list maintained by Henri Gaud on the French MF/LF forum. To date H.G.'s data base lists nothing less than 79 old & new lenses covering the 11x14"...

Small glossary on an example
Rodenstock APO-Sironar W 300 mm F/5,6 F/64 CI 519 mm AC 80 ° 1 610 gr Format couvert entre : 8x10 inch & 14x17 & 8x20 inch

reads as
Rodenstock APO-Sironar W
focal length = 300 mm
aperture from F/5.6 to F/64
CI = Cercle Image = Image Circle 519 mm
AC = Angle de Champ = field angle = 80°
weight 1610 grams
Format couvert entre = covered format between 8x10 inches and 14x17 inches, also good for 8x20"

I'll have at least two lenses capable of covering 11x14 in the list of barrel lenses that I've included in the 'for sale' section - these two also cover 8x20, if you're into the more panoramic ULF format, that is
