I made a little...

thank you for your answers. I bought a Wollensak EXWA 6 1/2 f/12,5 without shutter for a mere 75$ on etsy. a perigraphe sounds interesting, but seems to have gone up in prices. same thing for the...

I have posted this on Apug, but there were no answers. so I try again in this forum:

after years of mf and 4x5 with an old linhof technikardan I did the first jump: I bought an old russian 18x24...
