I have a wisner 4x5 tech field and will soon have a Pocket expedition 5x7-
Does anyone have experience (not opinion, now, just experience) as to what is the minimum focal length of a wide angle lens that can be used on either or both of these cameras with or without a bag bellows, AND without obvious optical distortion?
I tried my Nikon SW 90mm f4.5 on the 4x5, and it is close, unless you do the tilt the front back while holding the lens panel vertical and then reset using the geared rear tilt. I was able to get it to work, but being new to wide angle in lf I suspect it may be lack of expertise on my part.
