I just inherited an old press camera, and i have a couple questions on the lens.
The lens is an Ektar 127 4.7 dated to 1948. I am planning on using it for nature/landscape work. Is this lens suitable for Color as well as B/W? I am also concerned about depth of field since it only stops down to f32 and there are few movements available on this camera.
If anyone has any info, i would appreciate the help |

the has been called the best color corrected lens of the ektar line. At f16, foucsed on 50ft anything from 24ft to inf is in focus. Stop down to f32 and focus at 25ft everything from 11 3/4 to inf will be in focus. |
