    Re: Paper safes

    In my experience, the cabinet style metal safe with multiple shelves and a spring loaded front door is much nicer to use than the two-piece plastic style with the plastic hinge on the short side that...

    Re: How wide can I go with a Bender 4x5

    I used mine with the bag bellows and a 75mm. You have to move the tripod mounting block behind the lens standards (it is normally between them).
  5. Re: Wide angle lens recomendations needed for 4x5

    I would suggest that a 90mm might be a better starting point if you are looking to make images like the ones you posted, they look fairly wide. A 90mm is the workhorse lens for architectural work. It...

  8. Re: Fujinon fuji W 250mm f/6.7 --VS-- Schneider Angulon 210mm F/6.8

    I have both lenses. I haven't used them a ton, but the Fujinon is sharper than the Angulon. I have both because the Fujinon is a modest wide angle and I wanted something wider for architectural work....
  9. Re: Medium - Wide lens suggestion for the Horseman FA?

    Yes, the later versions were multicoated. I use mine in a Wista SP, it fits easily (they are quite small). See
    Kerry Thalmann's page for more info:

  10. Re: Medium - Wide lens suggestion for the Horseman FA?

    You should look into a Fujinon W 125mm 5.6. There are a couple of versions with differing coverages and filter sizes, but all cover 4x5 with movements and are quite modest in size. They generally...

    Re: Sinar f+ vs. F1 or F2
