OK I'm getting smarter. Now I plan to ask those who
know BEFORE I bid on an Ebay item that may not fit
my requirements.
Here's what I need to know. I have a beautiful 2.25
x 3.25 Miniature Speed Graphic and am considering
what lens would work well for portraits. Les suggested
an 8" Tele-Optar which would be about double the focal
length of my standard 101mm lens. I have found a 10"
Tele-Optar (2.5x standard lens FL). What I need to
know is will this 10" Optar fit the little lens board
of my Mini Speed. And would it be a good choice for
a portrait lens. I don't need tack sharpness in a
portrait lens. In fact my girlfriend, who I plan to
immortalize in portraits (grin) would probably like
a lens that is a little soft.
