I think I do have a wide angle lens somewhere in the attic for one of the cameras and maybe it was a 35mm. Of course they are all only "partial" lens because part of the lens system stays in these folding cameras and is not replacable. Dale - -- $ dale-reed@worldnet.att.net Seattle, Washington U.S.A. $
