A shop owner told me I don't need a wide angle bellow if I am using a 90mm lens on my Sinar F.He also told me that the present bellow I have (I supposed it's a standard bellow)can be used for a 210mm lens too. Please advise me on these as I am a beginner in 4X5 photography. Thanks Very Much.

To get full movement capabilities out of your 90mm you will need a w/a "bag" bellows. Your standard bellows will work fine for most lenses from 135mm to 300mm (limited close focusing capabilities with the 300mm).

You do need the bag bellows with the 90. It is possible to shoot straight on..as in copy work with a nommal bellows..but any movements will be much easier with the bag. I use it often with my 150 as well. It's just easier
