I recently purchased a near mint Wisner 4x5 Technical model camera and would like to find a great wide-angle and portrait lens for this camera.
I realize that the shortcoming of this fine camera is that the 23 inches of bellows and design will not recess beyond 3 inches, thus limiting wide-angle usage.
I shoot a wide range of subjects, but my primary thought would be to go with a wide-angle for landscape. I was initially thinking of going with something like a Nikkor SW 120mm f/8.0 lens or a Fujinon SW 105mm f/8.0 for wide-angle, but can I go shorter than this without major concerns? I suspect that I am pushing the envelope to go down to a 90mm lens?
Also, I will purchase a longer focal length lens for both landscape and portraiture. Any recommendations or thoughts?
Thanks for your suggestions!
