OK.
Let's get them excited!
I bid £20.01

It's very economical price compared to the bigger brand names!

Well, she's a little beauty!
Clean as a whistle, multi-coated, Fuji people call it ECB, with a Copal shutter.

Velvia produces a magenta cast. Provia is more on the blue side. Maybe Velvia is best shot with a filter to reduce the magenta.

I will stay away from the f8 versions!

Just had a coffee with a retired photographer (25yrs in the biz). He owned a 150mm and 210mm mostly studio work. When he needed a 90mm lens he hired it from Allphotos in Worthing for £10 per day!!!

Thanks to you all. I'll continue to hunt for a 75mm / 90mm lens and see what happens. There are numerous 90mm f8 but i suspect i'l have trouble focusing them. I'm not looking for top of the range. And for a4 repro i don't think i need to buy a £1,000 lens. Good to read everyones opinions. Onwards Bip

tanks for all the tips... i'll bear them in mind when choosing a lens.
i'm going to see a funjinon w 125mm f5.6 on wednesday, its going for £120, i already hav 180mm and 240mm and 360mm.\

haven't thought it through completely but I'm thinking of a really wide lens to use with the 6x9, and a 90mm for the 5x4. can't afford an expensive lens so will settle for a good quality lens at an economic price.

Bip

Thanks for the replies...

I was thinking that 90mm would be enough, and i don't want to be bothered with centre filters... but a wide would be good to use with my 6x9 back! and no need for a filter!

thanks
Bip

Hi

For those of you with experience of shooting interiors on 5x4, is a 90mm wide enough for most occasions?

Bip

Might help, in case its this type of issue... i had a couple of sinar boards of varying ize and a couple of lenses to fit... i went to a machinist and asked him to sort it... very precise workers in metal, and i can interchange lens barrels when i like...
