i want a wide angle for my 4 x 5 crown graphic.. it looks like a 65mm 5.6 super angulon with multicoated lens in what i have in mind.. and on the inner rails and bed down should work.. what say you.. can i get a 58xl or 55mm rodenstock , or 72 xl to work well? it seems the 65mm is best suited to my crown? what say you all?? thanks dave.

I have a 65mm F8 Schneider K. super angulon. you cant use infinity stops, well I cant, I just line the standard up with the end of the inner rails. I use a 6X12 back but if you use 5x4 you have to drop the bed to the lower position. The F8 has a lot of light fall off in the corners, but I use it all the time. The 5.6 should have a lot less. I saw a post here somewhere where someone uses a 58 grandagon, which they said works fine.
