[LargeFormat] a nice lens for 11x14

[LNPhoto]

Phil, Phil, Phil.  This is 11x14.
It's the world of 5 pound film holders that cost more than a flight 
from NYC to LA to buy USED.
The world of 60 pounds of equipment when traveling light.
Where a box of out of date film cost more than a good Speed Graphic.
Where you need 4 foot long arms so you can focus and see the ground 
glass at the same time with a normal lens.

And now you ask if something in this world is practical?????

TSK TSK TSK.

If you want unimaginable detail, gradation, and tonality....
If you want unimaginable back pain, debt, and ridicule, admiration, 
jealousy....

Then 11x14 with a Hypergon is for you

If you want practical, buy a Canon 10D.  :-)
