Komura 6,3/75 on Crown Graphic 4x5

Can I (fully) use this lens on my Crown?

Has it good quality?

YES, you can fully use the Komura 75mm on your Crown Graphic 4x5. Since this is a

retrofocus wide angle, you will not need a recessed lensboard. I use mine a lot. Actually,

you don't need a recessed lensboard for any wide-angle on the Crown, as the Crown has

articulated focusing rails that allow you to leave the front standard very close to the film

plane (inside the frame of the camera box) and still focus. However the 75mm Komura due

to its design, will alow you to extend the front standard out onto the main portion of the

focusing rails. You won't get the frame rails in the photo with the Komura and the Crown,

however if you use a Super Graphic with the revolving back, when you shoot verticles, you

might see the frame rails in the bottom of the image, unless you tilt the focus track down,

and then compensate by tilting and raising the front standard back to vertical.

I am realtively happy with the quality. My lens is not in perfect shape lens coating wise,

but it shoots nice photos.
