Coverage of juniorII lens

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Large format photography : One Thread

I have had in my possetion a Kodak juniorII folding camera with a "Kodak London 105mm ANASTON f6.3 lens, and since moving up to LF I was wondering if I cound use this lens remounted in to a copal/compur 00 shutter, but one thing does anyone know offhand if it will cover 5x4 (I may use a fair bit of movements from time to time, so say 5x7)? Also how is this lens for quality

Dude, just the cost alone of having it remounted, makes it worth considering spending the money a more modern 100mm-ish lens designed for real LF work.

David, this lens is a piece of crap which doesn't even cover 6x9 very well.
