[LargeFormat] "Jumper's Choice

[tripspud]

Hi Williams!

       I was going to comment about the price being higher for the Cambo.
A 65mm lens on 4x5 is very wide and may require a recessed lens board.
A 90 is a choice I would make for 4x5 as this will allow some adjustments,
even if it is not a lens of great coverage; something like the Schneider
Angulon.  A 65mm that covers 4x5 is going to be costly and harder
to find used.

Cheers,
