5x7 lenses in Large Format Posted January 14, 2002 I moved to 5x7 by purchasing an "increasing back" which hangs on the back of my Wista Field 45 in place of the ground glass. I purchased no specific lenses for this format. I am able to use a Fuji 90 mm (yes, it covers the 5x7, but with no movement), a Fuji 150 mm and a Caltar 210 mm. I like the Fuji 150 the most for 5x7 because it has a fairly wide field of view. The 90 is a fun lens, but kind of a chore to set up, because it is possible to include the front bed of the camera in the foreground.
