View Full Version : Schneider 90mm f8 Super-Angulon possible on a 4x5 Crown Graphic?
Hello,
Is it possible to use a Schneider 90mm f8 Super-Angulon on a 4x5 Crown Graphic? Is there any modification needed?
Thanks,

When you want to know older Schneider lenses' dimensions, go here: http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/archiv/archiv.htm
Short answer, there's no reason why not. The rear cell will pass through the front standard's lens throat and the lens' flange-to-film distance is longer than the 4x5 Crown's minimum flange-to-film distance.
No modification to camera or lens needed, but I think you'll have to drop the bed when shooting to keep it out of the picture.

hi martin
i have a chrome barrel super angulon ..
and use it on a speed graphic, and have used it on a crown graphic as well.
no modifications, nothing but a flat lensboard is needed.
and as dan suggested, drop the bed of your camera ...
not sure about the crown, but on my speed i have used a 65mm and 58mm lens without
any thing but a lensboard ...
here's another schneider link (http://www.schneideroptics.com/ecommerce/CatalogSubCategoryDisplay.aspx?CID=162)

No problem whatsoever using a 90mm super Angulon f8 on Crown Graphic. If you want, you can even use the 65mm super Angulon f8, but you will have to drop the bed.
Thanks very much for the direction and links.

I have the Ilex "clone" of that lens, 90mm F8, and it works just fine on my Crown Graphic.
