A combination of the size / weight of the lens, coverage, and the age of the lens made my choice for me.

Thanks for all the posts, much obliged.
Good luck with your lens Chris and I hope that you get nice photographs with it. :)

Chris,
I think you will be happy with the Grandagon. I have one & it has produced some excellent trannies. FWIIW my lenses are Grandagon 55mm 4.5; ditto 90mm 6.8 & Schneider 150mm. The 55mm works well on a 6 x 12cm RF back. Best wishes, Dennis.

Chris, like Dennis I have a Grandagon f6.8 90mm, you will find it to be a superb lens, I have no problem focussing mine on my Wista its a nice, reasonably bright, snappy lens to focus.

Thanks for your comments, I can't wait to start using the lens.
I haven't had chance over the Christmas break to use it sadly, but hopefully I'll get some free time (and a break in this awful weather) in the next few weeks.

Chris.
