Hello all,
I'm fairly new to the large format world, so please forgive the begginer's question.
I've become fairly comfortable with my one and only lens for my super graphic, and feel it is time to add a second to my aresenal. However, I know NOTHING about mounting lenses in lens boards. I'm fairly handy so if its a simple process, I imagine I might be able to do it, if not, well that would have an effect on the landscape wouldn't it?
So the big question, if I get a lens sans lensboard (or in the wrong kind of lens board) and a graphlex lens board to go with it, am I gonna be good to go? If not, how much can I expect to pay to have someone do it for me? Should I concentrate on finding an already graphic mounted lens?
Any help apreciated.
