Shannon: I know you have gotten two recommendations for the use of a 90mm
lens and a bag bellows (or sufficient compression on your regular bellows to
allow focusing a 90mm at infinity). For architectural interior work, I
really like a 75mm. It demands the use of a bag bellows and even with that,
movements are severely limited. On the othe hand, a lens of that focal
length allows you to do things you simply could not do any other way
(perspective controlled tight spaced room-window-cells-whatever). Jim
