Sorry, I forget to mention a 240mm g-claron in a copal 1 shutter does fit with the camera folded so I presume a 210mm claron would too.

A schneider 90mm angulon (not super angulon) will fit.

Thanks for all the responses:

First, to an issue where I seem to be wrong - f32 to f45 being a lot less sharp, this is based on a roll film that I shot the other day over our town: 3 shots with...

Hi, I have recently purchased a 240mm G-Claron. It is nice enough, takes sharp pictures but ...

Compared to my 180mm lens (Fujinon W) - the longest I had previously, it is much more difficult to...

'That is because you are using the older 001016 rather then a 001015 lensboard. Use the proper board and nothing touches. '

Hi Bob, yes you're right I am using the older board - I should have...

Hi Alain,

I guess you may be trying to mount the 47XL on a recessed board to use the technikas back to focus it with the lens inside the body. I do this with a 65mm Grandagon in copal 0 in a...

G'day, Cameron.

I'm in Tasmania and shoot 4x5. I don't have much of it on the web but my good friend John Mclaine who also shoots 4x5 and 6x7 has a lot of his stuff up. Search for him in the photo...

Hi Paul,

Look at the bottom of the standard - if it has an eccentric nut with a screw in the middle like on the IVs,Vs etc. This controls how well the standard grips the rails, by loosening the...

Yes Bob, I use a fresnel screen. The light fall off is substantial, I can only occasionally use my reflex viewer with the 65mm. I am not saying it is impossible to focus but it requires moving your...

The light falloff in my grandagon-n 65mm makes it hard enough to focus the corners, this could only get worse with a 58mm.

Also remember to allow for bellows factor for anything inside infinity focus. It is often amazing how many quater stops you loose for even a little bit further than the lens focal length. I...

I owned a 127mm Schneider Press-Xenar f4.4 for a little whilst. It was a nice lens and very light weight. It allowed 4 or 5 mm of front lens rise (but obviously less if the lens was rised and...

The summary of Merklinger's stuff on the net stuffed me around greatly. It definitely has cost me more time and probably a few shots than any other piece of advice.

My best onlooker comment was...

In previous reply the Copal 1 should have been Copal 0

Sorry

I use a 90mm SA on a recessed technika board. There are several factors worth knowing.

First you can just use a flat lensboard. For horizontal images it will be fine. For vertical images about...
