I do not know what my deal is. I could probably be perfectly content shooting with no more available movements than a Speed Graphic. But, I am constantly shuffling gear. I own a Wista 45sp right now (among other 4x5 cameras) but became curious regarding other rangefinder options and how they accomplished that function (cams vs other)
The slight roadblock to the Wista RF is that I do not own any Nikon glass, and I only own one focal length that that cameras system is designed for. I note that it does have adjustable infinity stops. Not having to hunt ebay and the like for cams is a small plus in the Wistas column, but the larger number of cams for Linhof and Speed Graphic are pluses to those. I'm not purposefully ignoring Horseman.

So, does anyone have/use a Wista 45RF with lenses outside the 3 "designed" focal lengths? 135,150 and 180mm

For me, it would be 105mm, 180mm, 240mm and possibly 300mm all of which are Fuji.

This is simply thinking out loud since I can't seem to stick with any one 4x5 for more than a year or two.
