Advice on Wisner vs Zone VI...
Mark, if I may diverge: do you really need such a long bellows draw? There are some fine tele lenses for LF which use shorter bellows extension. What lenses would you use in the field that require such long extensions? TIA! |

Mark, if I may diverge: do you really need such a long bellows draw? There
are some fine tele lenses for LF which use shorter bellows extension. What lenses would you use in the field that require such long extensions? I have long suggested that people be less concerned about brand names and more concerned about features. Some cameras are better suited to long lenses, and some for shorter lenses. I agree that there are several good tele lenses out there but they can be more expensive. Thje older ones such as the Tele Rotelar and Tele Xenar are not very good by today's standards. steve simmons www.viewcamera.com |

What lenses would you use in the field that require such long extensions? TIA! That's a very good question!! At the moment, I will be using 135mm and 210mm lens... My work does occasionally get close up, but nothing in the realm of even 1:2... Really, what I'm looking for is a camera that could deal with a 300mm lens at the most, and a 90mm at the very least... I'm even more concerned that the camera be made well and sturdy, with a full range of front and back swing and tilt... I do not wish to compromise the lock down capability of the camera at all, and that's why I'd prefer not to go to an Osaka or Tachahasi camera (no offence to these cameras at all...) Thanks for your help!! Mark PS - Of course, the rise feature on the front is very importand as well... -- p |

We are each looking for long lenses for 4x5, so perhaps we should trade notes. I'm even more concerned that the camera be made well and sturdy, with a full range of front and back swing and tilt...

Have you considered the Linhof Technika IV or V? It is a very robust camera with a particularly strong front standard. One would have to consider its range of movements, of course. See this for extensible bellows as standard: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/linhof/t10.jpeg |
