From what little information I can find it looks like most press photographers that used a 4x5 speed (or crown) did so with the standard 127mm or 135mm lens. I know other focal length lenses were available such as the 90mm and 100mm but what was the usual lens compliment of a press photographer coving events? Does anyone have any clue? I would think they would carry a wide angle and maybe a 10" or 15" but I can't find anything to support this.
I do know that most carried a yellow and red filter, and about 10 film holders, a dozen flash bulbs, But lenses?
