Hi everyone,

I'm using a 4x5 large format camera w/ a 150 mm standard lensand bellows.  I
would like to shoot architectural interiors, but I'm not sure which lens to
use.  I have a wide angle bellows, wide angle monerail, and recessed lens
board copal 0.  I plan to purchase a fujinon 75mm @ f8 lens and I heard that
a slow lens like this wouldn't give me full range of motion.  I know that if
I went with a Schneider 72XL 75mm @ 4.5 would give me a lot more movement
with my camera but I find it a bit expensive.  Would the Fujinon be just
what I need for this type of photography or should I wait and save for the
faster lens?  Please help? Also,  would a 90mm @ 6.8f do the job?  

Regards,

Frank
