I just traded a Wet Plate for a Sinar F1 with a Schneider Super Angulon 90 mm lens. It fits nicely in its Lightware case. I have a few questions...
When I inspected the camera, I noticed the one fine tune focus knob was on the front of the camera as opposed to the rear. I didn't realize the easy way to fix this, so I ended up pulling and switching out the standards. Upon doing so, plastic pieces fell out from the inside of where the vertical rails go. I have no idea how to put them back in.
Because the camera was used for wide angle use, the F1 came with a bag bellows and a short 11 inch rail. I'm hoping to use longer lenses, 210 probably the longest. Can anyone discuss the relationship of the length of rail to the focal length of lenses? I do on occassion shoot close up head shots to full length body shots and everything in between.
Thanks,
