Hello

I recently bought a Nikkor-W 300mm 5,6, and i would like to know your opinion about it.
I´m using it on 8x10 and 4x5

Thanks

Should be good. I use a Nikon 120, 240, and the triple 600/800/1200 on my 8x10 rig. Can't complain.

A fine lens with good coverage.
Perhaps a bit bulky on 4x5 but that is up to you.

I use the excellent 300mm f9 Nikkor M for 5x4 work. Very small and light (under 300g) mounted in a Copal 1 shutter.

The 300/5.6 Nikkor W is excellent. Closed to f/22, it can cover up to 10” x 12” at infinity.
