Hi all,
I have the above lens that I used to use on my Cambo 10 x 8 for my still life work, I now have a Rodenstock Macro Sironar N 210mm so I want to use my G Claron on my Linhof Technika 5 x 4 Field Camera for location work.
The issue I have is that I bought the G Claron sat in a Polaroid Prontor shutter/apeture mechanism, the fastest shutter speed is 1/125, this is not fast enough for my location work, I light my locations too so I don't even know if it would sync with a flash.
I figured if I could swap the whole mechanism for a different one with shutter speed up to 1/250 at least and that synced at that speed or 1/125 it would make the lens use-able for my location work, I have no idea what to look for though so if anyone could suggest some mechanisms that would be great.
On another note, I have read that the G Claron functions best at around F:22 / F:32, if I wanted to shoot at say F:11 to isolate the subject using DOF what kind of not so good things could I expect to happen at this aperture??
Thanks!
Danny.
