Hi all,

I just found this site. What a wonderful resource.

I recently got a 3x4 RB Auto Graflex, and I have been absolutely loving shooting with it. So far I've been using the 180mm Tessar that came with it, and that's been producing results that I like a lot.

However, I'd also like to option to go wider (and to still be able to focus to infinity). I know going too wide will lead to the lens and the mirror making contact, so I'm wondering how wide I can go without causing mirror problems. I have seen a few threads on other sites suggesting 135mm or 120mm. Does anyone here know with certainty how wide I can get away with?

Additionally, does anyone have any recommendations for specific lenses at these slightly wider lengths? Being new to the world of Graflex and LF shooting, I am not too familiar lenses. I'd love any specific recommendations.

Thanks!
