    Re: Sliding focusing lupe

    Hey,

    Wind

    All,

    Living here in the southwest and being closer is no advantage that one could predict when to be there. If I run over to Moab thinking it will be a great sunset, it is a bust. If I come home I...

    I've heard a number of comments that indicate a tele 4x5 lens is not as sharp as a regular focal length lens. I also talked to a fellow 4x5 shooter who lives locally, and he basically says...
