My first post; de-cloaking after years of lurking. Bought my first view camera in 1974 and my last one in 1998. The stock agency I make small amounts of money from no longer accepts film, so I was forced to go digital. I may be selling most of my equipment here in the future.
The question of why a single convertible lens should be used behind the shutter instead of in front comes up here now and then. I e-mailed this question to Ron Wisner on 10-18-99. Ron's website is no longer functioning, and Ron has a mixed reputation here. But Ron was an expert and knew his stuff. Many new and young members here may be unaware of him. There's some good information on his old site. My question, and his answer, are here (http://web.archive.org/web/20010211150848/wisner.com/archive.htm).
