Large Format Lens

[csholl66]

Hi,

I have a question regarding Large Format 4x5 and lenses. Can I use a Voigtlander screw-in mount for a large format lens? I imagine it would need a retaining ring, but normally there for Leica Cameras, not view cameras. A lens board is required for large format.

You can use about any lens you wish, but will need a lens with an image circle as large as, or larger than, the diagonal of whatever image size you're using.
