Graflex Pacemaker Crown - Lens advice sought

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Large format photography : One Thread

I am looking for suggestions on wide angle lenses for this camera. It's the 2x3 format of course. My goals would be tack sharpness and complete coverage over the film plane with great DOF.

A couple of posts have stated that certain lenses cannot be used because the lens length restricts the front panel from closing. Please keep that in mind when making suggetions.

Thanks, Joe

I had this camera for a little while. I used it with a 65 Angulon. It covered - just, and was slightly softer at the edges. If it was me, I'd get a 65mm f8 Super Angulon and not worry about the closing issue - that's just me.
