[LargeFormat] Re: 4x5 Large format camera and lens

[Karl Wolz]

My 75 5.6 Super Angulon is my architectural workhorse.  I've used a 75 6.8
Rodenstock with similar end results, so far as coverage & sharpness.  The
problem was in focusing.  Too darned dim to use for interior work.  I also
have a 90 6.8 Sironar (made by Rody) which is also pretty dim, but useable.
