Hi guys, new to large format. I got a wista vx with a schneider symmar S 180mm a few weeks ago, only took 3 shots with it so far. When I first got it, guys at adorama were skeptical of the lens, saying that the mount wasn't 'right' or something. Basically the copal no 1 shutter is labeled wista which threw the guy off (he mentioned never having seen a wista-labeled shutter) and he thinks maybe that's not the proper mount or something and might not produce sharp images. However, I'm not sure how much he knows what he's talking about and the guy at the licensed repair shop didn't see anything wrong with the setup. But since I don't know anything about these mounts, I figured I'd turn the question to you. Here is the link to high-res scans of my first 3 pics, I can also post a pic of the lens if helpful. Maybe the images are fine, but there are some spots where it's a little weird at 100% crop, maybe just the way the light is, or maybe some kind of double image, it just seems like it's not as sharp as it should be. Couldn't get the image embedding to work, so here's links to the full size images from my flickr:
