Hello, I am getting a 4x5 camera, and am looking for reasonably priced lens/es to get going.....
The camera I am getting takes Linhoff boards.... ( I do not know if it's a big deal or not to attach a lens to a board?)

I am looking at lenses between 90mm and 150, maybe 210mm.

Please let me know if you have any you're parting with, along with a basic description.

Thank you!

.
The 210mm will most likely be the most affordable starter lens that
you can obtain. And purchase a set of spanner wrenches for getting
your lenses secured to the boards.

Just an example, definitely not to be purchased.
