Hi there,
new to LFF ( see http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?p=476439#post476439 for my intro :) and beginning to assemble a kit.
Heeding the archival wisdom of this forum, I've decided to go for a "normal" (preferably f 5.6 and large image circle..) lens somewhere from 120 - 150 mm, so I can clearly see what's going on on the ground glass.. I plan to shoot 4x5 polaroids via a fuji pa45 and 6x9 with a wista holder (got that one already) - and am eyeballing the walker titan sf, as rumor has it that it's well designed and hard to make kaputt.
Now knowing myself, I'd really want the camera to be able to fold shut with a lens in place.. which brings me to my question(s): What "normal" lenses can you recommend for that? I'm thinking that I should stay slightly towards the 120mm side of things or the 6x9 crop will be too "tele" - do you agree with that?
kind regards,
Max
PS yes the Toyo Field 45CF is also an option.. perhaps the better one considering the walker's price.. ha hurm.
