I've been accumulating parts for an inexpensive
camera to keep in the trunk of my car.
And I am now at the point where I need to
make a decision on which lens I should put
on it.
It is a 3x4 Speed, I have a 22 back for it
to use 120 film. I am thnking of using an
old, uncoated, Bauch and Lomb 5x7 tessar lens
and then trying to sync the Kalart Rangefinder
to that focal length.
Has anyone tried this? If so do you have
any tips that may help me out?
Any experience with this lens? I was thinking
of using it primarly because of this
article I found on the Large Format Photography
Homepage:

Any advice would be appreciated.
