  1. Re: Will a Fujinon 150mm f/5.6 fold into a Crown Graphic?

    Yes indeed! Now that I have the camera in hand, I can proceed, but I have a hard time finding data on how big the Fujis are . . .

    It's moot now because I've decided to buy a 90mm. :)
  2. Re: Will a Fujinon 150mm f/5.6 fold into a Crown Graphic?

    Ok, I'll bite. What's so bad about them?
  3. Re: Will a Fujinon 150mm f/5.6 fold into a Crown Graphic?

    Thanks for the info! I don't plan on using the rangefinder, actually, so not worried about calibration there. Is there a published spec somewhere about how much clearance the CG has, or should I just...
  4. Will a Fujinon 150mm f/5.6 fold into a Crown Graphic?

    Just ordered a Crown Graphic from eBay and though it comes with a 127mm Ektar, I'd like to try a modern lens. I like what I hear of the Fuji 150mm W and NW lenses, but I definitely don't want to lose...

  8. Re: NEWB Questions! Speed Graphic/Aero Ektar? Interesting portrait lenses in shutters

    Wellllll, funny story about that. I have only used a 4x5 camera once, about 15 years ago. It was a Speed Graphic. The one that just arrived was supposed to be an Anniversary SG. But it was a lot...
  9. Re: NEWB Questions! Speed Graphic/Aero Ektar? Interesting portrait lenses in shutters

    @jp: Excellent info. Thanks for the sample images!

    All: Thanks so much for your thoughts! Speed Graphic arrived today and the shutter seems to be working fine . . .
  10. NEWB Questions! Speed Graphic/Aero Ektar? Interesting portrait lenses in shutters?

    Hello! I'm the newb who posted about the Dallmeyer Pentac 8" in the other thread. I'm a wedding photographer now mostly unemployed due to COVID, and I'm looking to branch out into high-end...

    Alright. Three unanimous votes means the lens goes back. Thanks everyone!
  12. Should I return this Dallmeyer Pentac 8" f2.9?

    Hello! First post here and I'm a total newb. I have a passing familiarity with large format but no experience. I'd like to start shooting portraits and of course was attracted to the Aero Ektar style...
