LENSES:
Fuji W EBC 125mm F5.6:
The 125mm is a moderate wide angle lens on 4X5, (equivalent to a 38mm lens on 35mm format cameras). This is a modern, multicoated lens which offers excellent coverage and extreme sharpness. Glass is clean (minor "fuji-itis", which does not affect image quality), shutter fires nicely on all speeds
Computar Symmetrigon MC 180mm F6.3:
The 180mm is a tele/portrait lens on 4X5, (equivalent to a 75mm lens on 35mm format cameras). This is a rarely seen hidden gem of the LF world, made in Japan by Kowa, with some of the most advanced lens design features of the era. A modern, multicoated lens which offers excellent coverage and sharpness, possibly one of the best 180mm lenses in its class. Glass is pristine, shutter fires nicely on all speeds. Huge coverage - covers 5X7.
