I am an avid film digital photographer that's new to large format but have been doing a lot of reading and studying cameras. I'm interested in shooting 4x5 and panoramas with roll film backs. I'm looking for suggestions for a very inexpensive starter lens with shutter. I'd like something with a similar view angle to 24-28mm lens on 35mm. I think that makes 105mm on 4x5 about right? I have access to a Kodak Tourist with a 105mm lens and shutter and I'm wondering if that will at least get me started. I'm also wondering what could be done with that Tourist as far as making it take a 6x12 back or something. I can't just trash a camera! Thanks, Jeff
