Hi,

As a fun project I thought I would build a Large Format Camera
to use for 2:1 reductions of artwork for PCB's. I bought a book From
Lindsay " Simple Large Format Camera Construction" by Edward A.
Hover. It looks like a straight forward project and not very
dificult. My problem is that I know nothing about what type of lens (
other than it needs to be a large format type) to use. I did a search
on eBay and there seem to be a number of different types that could
be purchased for a reasonable amount if they would work. I would sure
appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. The
camera will be dedicated to doing 2:1 reductions only and in a fixed
location which, I assume make it a simpler problem. Also, do I need
to use a special film?

Thanks - Jack
