I've recently taken the plunge into 4x10 w/ a Wisner modified for the Canham holders. I have a couple of questions that the long and skinny crowd might be able to help with.
I picked up a 150mm Computar; the filter thread is male on the outside of the front of the lens cell. Is this normal? Are there adapters available?
The 150mm is mounted in an ancient Prontor Press, one with the shutter speed selected by a small thumbwheel mounted on the front of the shutter. The shutter appears in good shape and weighs almost nothing, are these old shutters reliable? I hate to have it break on an extended trip.
What do people use for lens shades, I have a 120mm and the 150mm that seem problematic. Would a compendium be of any use?
Thanks ahead of time
Dave
