Bob is correct that more recent multicoated lenses are a bit better, including the excellent Rodenstock lenses that his company sells, as well as the later designs from Schneider, Nikon, and Fuji. ![]() Your Angulon is from 1970 and your Symmar is from 1962. So yes, standard 4 x 5 DDS-type sheet film holders will fit in your camera. Good guess? Double sheet film holders are commonly called 'double dark slides', or just 'DDS' in the U.K. The confusion here, I think, is that David Bennett is in the U.K. ![]() Do you mean between the screen and the body? You say 5x4 dark slides will fit into the film holder. They will not work properly on a IV or a III. Your cams will also only work properly with that lens on a V or Master Technika. Your cams will only work properly with the lens whose serial number is the same as the serial number stamped on the cam. If you get modern optics you will need to have them re-cammed. Later 150mm lenses are far better performers but are no longer convertible. For it's day the 150 was very good unconverted. Later formulation 90mm lenses are far, far better - although larger and heavier.
