Re: [Largeformat] the best lenses combo for a 6x9 camera ?



Hello Christiane,

I was looking through ebay, doing a search for Wista products, and came
across this item, a Tele Arton 240mm lens.  It's pretty much what I had in
mind for you.

Schneider 240mm Tele-Arton f/5.5!!! No Res!
Item #428310012

Hi Karl,

Many thanks for your input.. the idea of a tele lense is interesting.. can
you give me some examples of those tele lenses ? Are you thinking to the
japanese lenses ?
