Camera and lanses for arch photo



I would suggest a 90mm as a place to start with wide angle. My lens set
consisted of 58, 75, 90, 125, 180 and 240 when I was an architectural
photographer. You will need a camera that allows for the use of a bag bellows.
I would look at the Arca Swiss and the Sinar F2 along with the Calumet/Cambo.

I may have mentioned these before but I would strongly suggest reading the
following before plunging in

Photographing Buildings Inside and Out by Norman McGrath.
