I have a Toyo 45D, and the lens came in a very nice Toyo
recessed lensboard. Unfortunately, the camera does not
have interchangeable bellows so the bag bellows won't be
an option. I plan on using it more for landscapes than=20
anything else (no architecture), in which I'll probably only
need a slight front tilt. I've played around with it and it seems
okay with just the recessed board. Thanks for the info.

Hi Charles,
Couldn't find data on the Caltar but I did for the
Rodenstock Grandagon viz: 8 elements/4 groups 75mm f4.5 =
195mm circle coverage 83mm film to flange
You did not mention your camera but a sunken lensboard and bag bellows =
would help you with rising front! Philip

Hi everyone,
I recently acquired a Caltar II-N 75mmf/4.5 in excellent shape
and I was wondering if anyone had any comments or experience
with this lens. I'm assuming it's the same design as the=20
Rodenstock 75/4.5 Grandagon. I'm planning to shoot some
transparencies in the near future to test it out, but I'd love any
input from the list. Thanks!
