[QUOTE]Welcome, Ra![/[QUOTE]
Thank you Peter.
As soon as I solve my question on the polarity of the shutter, this will be very useful.
First, with the lenses you have: There is a shutter speed tester available for iPhone and Android, developed by Lukas Fritz in Germany--

Thanks a lot !!
I took a look at the Chamonix. What I read is that their movements are more limited, specially in the back. This is why I have a preference for the Shen HaoSecond, you might look into Chamonix cameras. I have the 45N-2 and it is the best I've owned in terms of workmanship and ease of use. Very simple; some here would say too simple. (I've owned an old Arca-Swiss, Ikeda, 2 Wisners.) With the extension accessory I can use my Nikkor M 300mm f9 lens using the standard bellows. Yes, this just one person's experience and opinion!
This is exactly my problem :-)BUT, there are many, many options re cameras.
In 35mm this would be between 35mm and 45mm (115mm to 150mm in LF if I am not mistaking)
Third, whether your next lens is a 150, or other, look at the lenses you most commonly use in your other formats. Convert those focal lengths to equivalents in 4x5. This might give you some places from which to start. For example, I purchased a 90mm f8 Fujinon years ago, but I find that I seldom use it. If I had thought about it some more, considered what I used when I shot 35mm, I might have skipped that lens!
Thanks exactly the idea.This forum has been for me like a library populated by research librarians! I hope you have the same experience. And I hope that you can link up with other large format photographers in your country!
A friend of mine has a Toyo field with a 115mm that I have managed once ... this was my full experience in LF. But as someone said, the longest trip starts with on step.
