I should have said 'angles of coverage'.
-
Pretty sure there's no such thing - All LF telephoto lenses have narrow angles of view (less than normal.) Perhaps I'm misunderstanding.
-
I think the conventional rule for decent performance in Photoshop is: your memory should be 3 times the size of the largest image you want to manipulate. Seems to be true.
-
If you want super wide, the Mamiya Universal or Super with 50mm could be a good choice.
-
Actually with a 240 you could focus to about 5 feet and it would make a nice geometrical progression with 90 and 150. I'd go with a Fujinon-A.

Sorry, that is a late Horseman 220/16 exp back. KEH doesn't have any now, but try around, they exist.
-
I bought a late model used one recently from KEH.

Sinaron S = Sironar N,
Sinaron SE = Sironar S.
Makes perfect sense :^)

Steve, diffraction limits are the same for medium and large format lenses. The diffraction limit is the same across all lenses for a given aperture. So when medium format lenses reach their diffraction limits at wider apertures, it's because they're sharper at wider apertures, not less sharp at smaller apertures. (Someone jump in if I'm oversimplifying.)

Yes, the Quickload holder works with the Nagoaka. I think it works with nearly all 4x5 spring and graflok backs.
-
Consider the Nikkor 360T, a very highly regarded lens and also apochromatic.

How's this for a theory, Michael:
The ghost was created when your stack of film was exposed to light due to a leak in a film box or a lapse in handling. The lighter second ghost was made by the light that passed through the top sheet of film to the second sheet.

I think a clean one recently went for ~$350 on Ebay.
-
I think it's the release that allows you to wind to the next frame after making an exposure.
-
Anyone using this configuration know if a ground glass frame is
available that works with it? Would a graflex XL ground glass work?
Thanks in advance -

If you like your 45SU except for weight, trade it for a SW45 or RSW45, and get a gitzo 1 series tripod and matching ballhead. The whole kit will weigh about half as much as the one you're carrying now, and you can use your 4x5 lenses with it too.

Here is Sky Pond in late summer:
-
Sky Pond and Chasm Lake are also good choices for photography. Not sure if you will need snowshoes, they are both considerable day hikes in summer conditions.
-
Well, I would have to disagree with Edward. I'm sure it depends on what you like to shoot, but for me 240 and 300 are very important lenses (landscape is all I do.) A compact 240 should be OK for landscape purposes on a camera with 11 inch belows.
-
Just FYI in LF the readyload is called a film holder not a back. If you call it a back everyone will definitely know you're a newbie.
-
If I may venture a stupid question, have you compared a good digital camera shot or a scanned 35mm shot of the print to the output of your flatbed scanner? Seems like for the web, that might give as good or better results, as you won't have need for very many pixels.
-
I think the Rodenstock apo-sironar N 135 is the smallest lens that matches your stated specs. Unfortunately I don't have one that I could measure for you. Rodenstock says the lens is 43mm long overall.

If you are doing landscape with a 2x3 RFH on a 4x5 camera you probably want to be carefull to get one that works conveniently with very short lenses. Folding field cameras are often not so convenient with lenses below 90mm. The Ebony non-folders would be good choices for that reason. Two things though. One, it's VERY easy to remove and replace the GG on a graphloc back (two seconds maybe.) Two, if you are worried about the inconvenience of sheet film, consider Fuji quickloads. Very convenient and reliable. Good luck and welcome to LF.

Is it possible this was a reference to the Wisner 8x10 convertible lens set?
180mm lens comparisons - any real standouts?
