Announcing A Sister Site To The4x5Camera

 
I've noticed that a lot of people coming to this site are looking for large format lenses to use with their 4x5 or even larger view camera. Well, that only makes since. That great camera without a lens is just a fancy box and bellows. I thought of adding a section to this site all about lenses but quickly realized that the subject was too broad, at least as broad as large format cameras, themselves. So I'm glad to announce that I've launched a new site all about this subject:
 
The Large Format Lens.com
 
I've tried to keep the layout of the site and the way it works very close to the same as this one, so if you're familiar with the4x5camera.com, TheLargeFormatLens.com will work the same way. I'll continue to update it with general information about large format lenses, including reviews and articles about both old and modern optics. In addition there is the shopping feature that will allow you to view live, continuously updated auctions from Ebay's website. This is a particularly useful feature as many of the lenses used for large format photography are either discontinued items or very hard to come by new, particularly in the U.S. Therefore auction sites such as Ebay are often the best or only place to find what you are looking for.
 
So if you're needing a lens feel free to go and check out the new site. You can use the link above, or I've added a Lenses link in the Accessories drop down menu at the top of the site that will now take you directly to the new site.
