just missed buying a 24 inch fast big apo artar process lens and still
regret it.
One never knows there might be some use for these yet.
After reading about hat,s for shutters here , gave it a try recently , with
an old Xenar.
And amazed myself(that it actually worked)and some digital pro pj,s , who
ridiculed the whole thing ,
with the results.
WIth all our big cars someone will somewhere make really big cameras again
on really big modern film.
Wonder what that would look like when compared to the output from a 100 mb
file.
best regards
