Fujion Large Format Lenses

The first challenge for the new owner of a view camera is lens selection. The image circle defines the limits of camera movements. The Fujion leaf shutters have a continuous aperture adjustment with ⅓-stop markings.

When shooting 6x9cm, 4x5 view camera lenses provide a great deal of latitude for shift, rise, and swing.

Lenses wider than 90mm tend to be very dim because of the oblique angle of the light hitting the ground glass. You will likely need to compensate by installing a fresnel focusing screen.
