[LargeFormat] Wide angle for XLF

[tripspud]

Hi Jim,

      I had a 210/8 SA years ago.  I used it on an 8x10 for b&w.
A center filter is available for these lenses and is costly, so I never
got it, but didn't need it either for 8x10.  This lens produces an image
circle of a half meter and weights over 5 pounds.

     Later, I had a 121/8 SA on the 8x10 and had the center filter.

     If you are using b&w, you may not need it.  For color, in 11x14,
the light fall off would be such, that it would be, at least, desirable.

Cheers,
