I use the Tachi with an ApoGrandagon 55 mounted on a 10 mm recessed

panel without problem.

<p>

I work very often on MF with some Calumet and with that lens I can

rise and tilt for all my needs.

<p>

Good wishes.

Because in this way I can deceive myself that I'm able to fix and

understand a little portion of the "absolute", even if I really

understand that all I do is just to try to read the incomprehensible

rules of the Universe. Nothing more.

By the way I was bewatched by some picture of Ansel Adams, I like

very much to show my photos to my friends (wich take pictures with

compact cameras .... I'm treacherous, I have to admit it).... and

sometimes I'm able to sell some photo of mine.

I'm an architect and sometimes I take picture of architectures and landscapes (but itsn't my main job), mainly for publishing, with a ligth Tachihara 4x5 (even if I use very often smaller format on rollfilm -6x7), so I need a light equipment, but with the best quality and resolution that I can afford.

<p>

Until now I was working with a new Rodenstock 55/4.5, an old SA 75/8 (very old, almost like me... and with a very small image circle), a very very old SA 90/8 (with a terrible shutter...), a new AS 180/5.6 and a new Nikkor M 300/9. I'd like to add a SS 120 HM.

I'm in doubt if is a good idea, for my main kind of photos (achitecture and landscape), change both the SA with a new and light SS 80 XL.

<p>

Before the Schneider announcement I was thinking to change them with new ApoGrandagon lenses....

<p>

Someone can help me?

Good wishes to everybody from Italy.
