No luck in GGP or Paine or even graflex.org! Does anyone know where the movements _are_ listed? Now I want to know... Anyway, since you apparently have the camera, it's not too hard to figure out. Just move the lens as far as it will go in an direction and measure that amount of movement from the center position. Add twice that amount of movement to the roughly 155mm of coverage that the film needs, and the total is the amount of coverage the lens must have to illuminate the film area. So if the lens moves 25mm, the total would be 205mm image circle. Although it does get more complex with tilts and you'd have to fugure out the angles... And then there's the additions of shifts, rise/fall and tilt... Hmmm, good luck... Maybe someone just plains know  <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: RichS on 2005-01-19 21:10 ]</font> | ||
