Maybe a better option would be to just drop on the rear element. How appropriate for a symmetrical lens!

I have a 180 Symmar - s Very happy with it actually used it yesterday morning.Have made some very large prints (50 inches)from images shot on this lens. As others have suggested 450 euros buys a fair bit of film .
You guys are right, thanks.
My birthday is coming and I thought about the Lens.
Maybe I’ll try the 210mm Rodenstock Sironar N

ioingjorbor, did you say what type of photography you practice? In my view, a 210mm lens is very close in focal length to the 150mm. I don't see a large difference in perspective that you will achieve with the 210 vs the 150. A suggestion is to think about which subjects appeal most to you, and select the next lens based on this. If portraits, I enjoy the longer focal lengths, such as 300mm on 4x5. If landscape or architecture, 90mm is useful. I prefer a wide view with architecture and use mostly 58mm.
I see a very significant difference in 'perspective' between 150mm and 210mm, not to mention there will probably be times where changing distance isn't entirely effective for composition, requiring significant cropping. I try to avoid cropping. Why shoot 4x5" if you crop to 6x7cm?
Looking through some of his images, I would lean wide than long. In a few articles online, he talks about a 300mm ("normal") lens on 8x10. I see a wider perspective in his images.
Consider something in the 100-135 range to add to your 150. The 135 isn't much different than the 150, so 100 or 120 is a suggestion.
