Hello,
I have another (newbie) thread just below this one, with a stupid question about focusing on a Pressman. I was just wondering, is it possible to use a 90mm lens on a Pressman? And if so, which one(s)? The lens board is very small, as is the bellows right behind it. I am getting some kind of 135mm-150mm-180mm to start with, for portraits and still life, but I would like to go wide(er) at some point. I wouldn't mind using older lenses, I didn't buy into 4x5 for technical image quality, more as an emotional thing, I think. I will be doing some pinhole photography as well. There is a Hong Kong guy on Ebay making (cheap, quality) Pinholes that fits a Copal #0 lensboard. So not only did I get a 4x5 camera, it also doubles as a zoom pinhole camera :-).
