Nikon Lens Help

April 12th, 2011
Ok so this year is a film year for me... I am starting the year with a pinhole, than I am building/rebuilding a 4x5 and finally a 8x10.

Posting this here, because there are still a few film users... I am thinking of getting the Nikon Wide Angle 120mm f/8 Nikkor-SW Lens with Copal #0 Shutter as it is cheap. Anyone use it? Stopped down to f/22-f/40 range it should cover 8x10 if I ever go that way...

View camera are completely new to me so I am reaching out to everyone I can find...

good luck!
