[LargeFormat] Lens for 8x10!

[Les Newcomer]

A 14" artar should cover 8x10 but won't have a lot of movement. This would
be a good lens for color as well as B&W.  Try to find a Packard shutter
who's  opening is as close as possible to the dia. of the lens in back.
that usually means the Packard shutter will be about 6" square, so that 4x5
camera needs to have a big lensboard.
