What is available for WA for 8x10
In my infinite quest for infinite ways to spend money on a hobby, I now need to know what is available for WA for a 8x10 format camera. I am a WA user (24mm or less) in the 35 mm world. I am now foraging into the 8x10 realm. Any suggestions for a lens with lots of coverage? A simple base approach, simplisticly, normal lens on a 35mm camera = 50mm, for an 8x10 it's 300mm. 1/2 of 50mm = 25mm, 24mm actual for your wide angle, 1/2 of 300mm = a 150mm on 8x10. and simply so forth.

In 8x10 my 210mm or 250mm often seem plenty wide enough. my 159mm/165mm lenses seem REALLY wide..... |

What is available for WA for 8x10
So folks, as long as we are doing this, what is the widest lens ever
made that will cover an 8X10 negative? Don't forget the Goerz Hypergon's (sp?) with the little windmill thingy. Any fisheye's out there? And oh, there is tin foil with a hole punched in it.

I'm sorry but its not 50mm, its 43mm in fact its 38mm if you just enlarge the 24x30mm part of the 24x36mm frame. You can't compare oranges and apples and compare an image with a 1:1.25 ratyion and a 1:1.5 ration. If you enlarge to an 8x10 or 4x5 (the 24x30 part of the neg) than the following applies. The first figure is the 8x10 FL and the second is the equivilant 35mm 150 = 18.9mm 165 = 20.7mm 180 = 22.6mm 210 = 26.4mm 240 = 30.2mm 250 = 31.5mm THOM 1/2 of 50mm = 25mm, 24mm actual for your wide angle, 1/2 of 300mm = a 150mm on 8x10. and simply so forth.
