What is the widest lens that will work on a Busch Pressman Model D?

For a 4x5 it is a 75 mm. However, it will be too wide in most situations, so a 90 mm would fit your plans better. For the 75 mm you need a recessed lens board to use the movements, which I doubt will be available for that camera. Make sure you get a center filter for the lens as well, otherwise your light fall off to the edges will be around 2 f-stops.

Worry is like a rocking chair.

It will give you something to do,

but it won't get you anywhere.

Could it be possible to go wider, if you install the lens after taking the back off, and not changing lenses in the field?
