I'm thinking of getting started in 4x5, expanding from 67 and 35mm. I'm planning on doing landscapes, archetecture, and portraits -- looks like my first lens wi ll be the rodenstock apo-sironar-S 135/5.6 with the so-called "extended HM" 208m m coverage. Will that be sufficient for moderate to extreme movements?<p? Additionally, I'm trying to decide between the Horseman LE, Calumet 45NX, and th e Toyo 45C. It looks like the Toyo is the best value and build for the money (US D$1050 at B&H) vs Horseman ($1439) and the Calumet ($989) as it has the great bu ild, center tilts, and LOTS of movements.

Any suggestions on which is better, which is advisable or not advisable? Or bett er bodies in this comparable range? Thanks!
