: I am the proud owner of a new

: format photography and was wondering if someone
: could help me in determining which lenses
: will fit this camera. I understand that lenses
: for this camera have to have a certain angle of
: coverage, but what is that angle? Will modern lenses
: fit the camera as long as they have that particular
: angle of coverage? If someone can either help
: me or point me to another web page covering this
: particular topic, I would be greatly appreciative.
: Thanks to all.

Ron--standard lenses ranged from 65mm WA to 210mm
modern lenses generally tend to extend to far
behind the lensboard, altho I have used a schnider
210mm on my Crown Graphic--I prefer the older lenses--as they have
a unique quality about them
