Way back when, when I was pondering on a field camera, I decided on a
Superspeed Graphic with that 1/1000 shutter speed lens. The lens turned
out to be a dog, couldn't shot with it wide open under any lighting
condition. It kept me from using the camera until I decided to put one
of my rail camera lenses on it. I have since used a new generation 135mm
F5.6 on the Graphic. It has made all the difference on taking out the
4x5, even for just a few sheets of film. In my case, as I predominantly
shot PN55, it's more a question if I want to take out the bucket or not.
