I have found a mint condition "Rodenstock Sironar 180mm F5.6 (DB Mount) Large Format Lens - UK Dealer" I have a spare copal 1 shutter here - can I just screw...

Hi All

Whilst browsing lenses on eBay I came across a nifty idea for when it's hard to see your apertures ( see photo attached)
Do you have any ideas if these can be purchased? As It would be...

Hi Ian - I have just seen your informative post and last night I bought a Nikkor 180mm W F5.6 from Japan at a decent price - before I saw your post!!
do you think I will still need a 30mm Top hat on...

I still have my Linhof Master Tech but for this next trip I wanted to keep the weight down - I would like to have a longer lens in the bag for landscapes: as sometimes it is nice to compress the...

Yes sorry - the model I have is the RSW45 Ti and I was debating getting the Nikkor 180mm W 5.6

Hi Dan, Sorry, I just don't understand. Could you explain. No idea what bit you think is the wrong approach. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated as I am no expert.:confused:

Dan, I think you've missed the gist of the post! you might want to read the original post from the beginning. I was garnering advice about swapping the whole lens onto a comfort board. :o

Thanks to everyone that was a great help. All good ideas to check - brilliant forum

I think what saying is weird curved corners one gets
on extreme wides like a 18mm or 20mm on a 35mm camera
So by the sounds of your general remarks by most
Of You kind people is maybe a 90mm or...

Thanks everybody - really helpful - so maybe
I should consider a 90mm to work along side the
150 and 210 - so which one? Needs to be the finest
One out there: suggestions ?
