In Reply to: Portrait lens for 2* x 3* Miniature Speed Graphic posted by Kent on September 06, 2000 at 12:38:28:
: I've recently acquired the camera mentioned in the
: Subject line and it has a 10.5 cm Zeiss Tessar
: (standard lens for 2* x 3*).
: Can anyone tell me what other lenses would be
: compatible with the Mini Speed Graphic. I am
: especially interested in a medium telephoto for
: portrait work. Something in the 180 - 210 mm range.
: E.G. can I mount a Schneider 210 mm in the lensboard.
: Since I have an operable focal plane shutter what
: barrel lens in the portrait focal length would be
: compatible.
: thanks,

i would think the 8" tele optar would be very nice for portraits. It's not the sharpest lens in the world, but for people its fine. It will give an image twice the size of your current lens.
