What lens is on your Travelwide 4x5 camera?

[rjschell]

I'm using the 'default' 6.8 90mm Angulon. I' like to use a 100mm 6.3 Wide Field Ektar, but the flange to film distance is too long.

90mm f/6.8 Wollensak Raptar.

Do graphex/rapax shutters of the Raptar/Optar 90 6.8 lenses require any adapters to mount on the travelwide?

[David Karp]

No. At least it does not require an adapter on mine. The shoulder on the mounting nut is big enough to cover the hole. As long as you are careful.

I am guessing that the 100mm Ektar will focus at infinity if the helical mount is extended; that should be 10mm or most of the way out. Ny guess (again just a supposition) is that there will still be some ability to focus a little closer.

Has anyone actually mounted a longer focus lens ?

You are right about the 10mm increase. It would require a back spacer. Any DIYers out there?

There is another thread on the TravelWide that deals with these questions. Check out: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...ide-4x5-camera

90/6.8 Angulon with late Compur shutter. I too thought about using a 100/6.3 Kodak Wide Field lens.
