dhbebb Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 <p>I don't but I did have a Gran View camera once which was very similar. I just checked out the website, it says the camera is designed for a 90 mm f6.8 Angulon, a poor choice since this needs to be stopped down to f16 or smaller to really cover 4 x 5 edge to edge. An f8 Super Angulon would be better, an f5.6 Super Angulon even better but probably the rear of this would not fit inside the body. I found my camera worked but was very limited in scope - if ergonomics are not good, it's surprisingly difficult to handhold a 4x5 steadily.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chauncey_walden Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 <p>I do. F/16 with 400 speed film has not been a problem. Neither has handholding. A lens heavier than an Angulon would tend to unbalance the camera. A cable release fed through the hole in the right grip makes a convenient thumb release. Of course, some people just can't handhold effectively.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
