What 4x5 wide angle lens for my Korona?

By the way Perry, can you invert your front standard? On some camera designs that works.

The Korona is a field camera. I'm not aware of any field cameras having that ability. I can take it off the tracks and put it back on backwards but the bellows don't come off and go on backwards, in fact I'm not sure the bellows can come off without destroying them, so if I took it off the tracks and put it back on the other way the rear standard would have to be done also! On the other hand, my Cambo I can flip the front standard but it makes it worse to flip the front standard around in the case of trying to get closer to the film plane since it is already offset behind the standard. Flipping the rear is not even an option because you'd never get your film holders in with that flipped around.

Great, but.. what was the distance measurement?

126mm.

Which Schneider 90mm lens do you have? I think you get a little more flange-film distance with the 90/8 Super-Angulon than with the 90/6.8 Angulon. The more modern fast ultrawide designs from Schneider and Rodenstock (90/4.5) are slightly retrofocus, so they give even more room, but they are very expensive.

I've got the Super-Angulon f8. Its a very very nice lens. I really like it a LOT on the Cambo, except that edge to edge distortion is so minimal (practically nothing) I find it hard to purposefully get it to exaggerate the edges
