I miss Steve Grimes. He was always incredibly helpful. If I could send
work his way, I did. These days, though, it often isn't as practical to
mount old process lenses in shutters. Sure, if you have some decent
shutters sitting around, the price isn't too bad, but new shutters have
gotten very expensive. One can buy a Sinar behind the lens shutter for the
cost of one new Copal 3 shutter. The Sinar shutter will allow you to use as
many barrel lenses as you like, assuming you really need a shutter in the
first place. With 8x10 at least one can often do without. In any case,
while you can get some very high focal length process lenses, I doubt that
many of them are telephoto.
