I want to get a 90mm lens for my Crown - but which one? I want to be able to close the camera with the lens in place, so that rules out a lot of them - Super Angulon, Rodenstock Geronar etc.
So which is the best 90mm out of the ones that fit my requirements?

Cheers

I'm not sure what your requirments are, but if they are only to close the camera, then a 90mm lens from the era of your camera will do well...

90mm Angulon
90mm Optar
88mm Bausch and Lomb.
3.5" Gold Ring WA Dagor.


The B&L usually goes for under $75 and occasionally under $40 thus the best value.. ...ie the angulon is 10% better at 200% the cost.

The first three will cover the format but not with much movement. The last will give movements but leave lots of movement in your wallet.
