Hi all,
Here a recent shot of mine, shot with an 8 3/4" Verito. It is part of my architecture series, some sort of "dialog" with Sugimoto's approach to architecture - for those interested in the approach (irrelevant in this context), there's a brief description here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/csant/sets/72157626592854458/).

I am not yet bothered by the distortion visible on the pillars - but just…
Would anybody know of a small, lightweight, soft focus, convertible lens, somewhere in the 9" range, that covers 8x10 - which does not exhibit such a distortion?
I am very happy with the 8 3/4" Verito: it's a beautiful "all-purpose" lens, works well for portraits, landscapes, architecture, soft when open, sharp when stopped down, it's small and light, it's convertible… But I am seeing some limitations when shooting architecture… I know you can't have always everything, but if there's a worthy alternative, I'd be happy to learn about it.
Thanks in advance!
