Hi,
I just purchased my first 4x5, a tachihara which also came with a 210mm lens. The camera will be used exclusively for landscapes, so I'm looking to purchase a 90mm lens ASAP. I had been looking for a super angulon or something of similar quality. Unfortunately nothing has popped up in my price range. There are a few 90mm f/6.8 Angulons around for a decent price, what do you all think of this older lens? I've heard that it just covers a 4x5 without movements and that it wasn't super sharp. I've also heard some say that it was very good for the price. Are these 40-50 year old lens's good enough for large landscape prints. I mean after all, Ansel's best photos were taken in the 30's-40's so those old lenses can't be that bad. Please let me know exactly what you think of this lens for landscape work and prints up to 20x24". Should I just keep looking for a super angulon? Thanks, John
