Re: Depth of Field Adapter on Steroids

That heidosmat sounds very cool! I think your dimensions might be a bit off, since the outer diameter of the lens needs to be at least 300mm/f3 = 100mm, or roughly 4 inches.

Anyway, I have a 610mm f6 and a 910mm f8, both mounted in a Fairchild k-38 shutter. they weight 7.5 and 12kg respectively. My plan was to make a camera around them, but I haven't managed to put time on that. I think the 910mm would be a wonderful portrait lens for 8x10"

I have also a very old 50cm f4.5 Tessar, from 1910s. The size and the weight is much more resonable than the other beasts, but it is still a big chunk of glass.

I think there are many options out there.
