Works fine, but certainly roll film is a LOT easier to deal with. As I remember it, you need something to cover the 5x7 format..... in order to "get" the 6x17 angle of coverage you need..... Check out this site for possible solutions.... http://www.largeformatphotography.info/lenses/ they show different formats, "extra" rise and weight. If budget allows, the Super Symmar XL is a well respected lens..... However, almost all these lenses are pretty big and heavy, and more to the point, look pretty delicate ( big hourglass shape ). Not the best for walks in the woods.... Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net Isn't it sweet? And since I am a pano person, and I have no experience with sheet film anyway, this could be perfect for the cases that I want the "big gun." I bought a Fujinon 90/5.6 SWD :-) Found one used in good condition. Now I am looking for a 150, can't find an APO Sironar yet (well, not used within my budget)...
