Survey: What are your prefered focal lengths?

[CXC]

I start with something nice and wide, then something around double and quadruple that.

5x7: SSXL 110, G-Claron 240, Fuji C 450

Interesting to hear how many other G-Claron users there are out there...

For 4x5 architecture :

One Lens: 110mm

Two Lenses: 110mm, 180mm

Three Lenses: 75mm (i will prefer a 72xl), 110mm, 180mm

Four Lenses: 75mm, 110mm, 180mm, 240mm

Five Lenses: 55mm, 75mm, 110mm, 180mm, 240mm

Actually, i'm using 4 lens at the moment 55mm, 75mm, 110mm, 180mm !

[Glenn Kroeger]

1 lens: 120mm

2 lenses: 120mm 300mm

3 lenses: 120mm 180mm 300mm (currently own)

4 lenses: 75mm 120mm 180mm 300mm

I may be alone in the world, but I still prefer the angle of view of 120 SS-HM to the 110 SS, and it's ligher and cheaper

You are not alone in the world, I still prefer the angle of view of 120 to the 110 also.

[Lloyd Lim]

1 Lens - 120mm
2 lenses - 120mm 240mm
3 lenses - 90mm 120mm 240mm
4 lenses - no idea, only have 3 right now
