I have a Crown Graphic with a 127mm f:4.7 Ektar Lens
(S/N ES18470) and I want to replace it with a roughly
equivalent modern lens because the sharpness of this
lens doesn't cut it by today's standards.
I will confess my naivete' on the subject up-front.
What is the best way to go about replacing the lens. I
deally, I want to take out the lens board on the camera
and keep it in a drawer and replace it with a new
lensboard and lens.
Are there off-the-shelf lens boards available that will
fit on this camera? The lens board is approximately
3-3/4" square.
Secondly, would a Nikkor W, 105mm f/5.6 lens be
appropriate to use on this camera? I strictly want to
use the camera for landscape shots.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
