I recently bought MF digital back (Phase One P25+) together with FlexAdapter and Kapture group one shot cable, with commercial architectural photography in mind.
Until now I was using Schneider SA XL 58mm lens on Sinar F2 with 4x5' film occasionally shooting 6x7 cm. While I began using this lens on the digital setup I noticed chromatic aberration and rather law resolution. Because of that I am after a lens like Rodenstock Apo-Sironar 35 or 45 mm.
The question is, if it's possible to mount 35 mm or 45 mm (I would rather go for the shortest possible) on the Sinar F2 with recessed lensboard and bag bellows, and how deep the lensboard should be to accept such a lens (and what source should I choose: e-bay, Kapture group, S.K. Grimes ?).
Does anybody had the same problem and resolved it successfully ?
This is very important question for me as I don't have possibility to go to the specialist shop to test different lenses in my country [Poland] and will have to make decision based solely on my readings.
