Hi, was thinking of using a mirrorscope lens for my 4x5. Anyone have any experience doing this? Any thing i need to know eg: covers only at infinity etc... ?

I find the following link very useful. The author shoots 6x9cm but the information is just as useful for 4x5".

Thanks for the kind words. I've never tried to use anything like a mirrorscope lens.

OP, if you have the lens, try it out. At least mount it up and see what it puts on the GG.

Please pardon my weak eyes. I read the lens type in the original post as "microscope".

If you're talking about the Mirroscope lens, Jim Galli has used them a bit. Perhaps he'll chime in.
