I have acquired a 4x5 Linhof Technar (similar to a Sinar Handy) with a 65 mm 5.6 Super Angulon lens.
It is basically a simple 4x5 camera with a grip built around a wide angle lens on a focus-mount on a cone shaped lens board. There are no bellows, and no movements. You can either compose and focus on the ground-glass, or guestimate the focus and compose in the top mounted viewfinder.
It is a camera that begs to be used for hand-held reportage, and so my question is how wide can you go with the 65 mm/5.6 SA lens and still achieve decent enough focus? I know that it will be fine at f16 or f22, but what about f11 or even f 8?
Thanks for your input.
