What lenses are in you 5x7 kit?

[BradS]

Which lenses do you routinely use in the field with the 5x7 format?

Do you shoot primarily Landscape? Portrait? Architecture? Something else?

I'm all over the place with subject matter. My lens collection runs from a 75 f6.8 Grandagon (which will JUST cover), a 90 f6.8 Grandagon (also, JUST covers), a 4 3/8" f8 W.A. Dagor, a 150 Sinaron f5.6 (which also JUST covers... that's one I need to look into replacing), a 210 Sinaron f5.6, a 250 Fujinon f6.7, and a 12" Commercial Ektar f 6.3 . For my studio 5x7, I have a Kodak Ektar 12" f4.5, and a Seneca Portrait 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 f5.

Depends on what I'm doing. I've got a "Field Kit" consisting of a 5x7 Eastman 2D with a 8.5" Ilex Paragon and a 159mm Wollensak Wide Angle. When I'm driving, my Toyo kit has a 210mm Fujinon, a 150mm Fujinon, and a 10.75" Apo-Artar.

When I'm packing it all in the back of the truck it is 110SSXL, 150 Apo Sironar W, 180 Apo Sironar N, 210 Docter Tessar, 240 Fuji A, 300 Fuji A, 360 Doctr Apo Germinar, 450 Nikkor M. When I want to travel reasonably light but still have a range it is 110-150-300-450. Frequently I will go out with jut the 150 and 300.

I hoot all of the above an also some macro. BTW when I am shooting portraits it is the 300 Imagon and nothing else.

I have an old Graflex 5x7 SLR so I have whacky barrel lenses. I'm still making lens boards for some of them. I plan on doing portraiture. Stay tuned.

Same lenses as 4x5, since all the lenses cover 5x7 or more. 150, 240, 300, 450.

[Patrick Kolb]

The more lenses the heavier the pack, so choose wisely. I try and limit myself to the number of lenses I carry by the distance I am going to travel. I have available 120, 180, 240 ,305, 450, and 600, all of which can be used on my 5x7. I normally carry four lenses with me for normal shooting, but I have limited myself to the 180 and 305 on longer trips. I think the only limiting factor now is age. The younger you are, the more lenses you carry. That equates to most of the time I carry two. All but the 180 will work on my 8x10 as well.

110, 150, 210, 300, 450

[BradS]

110, 150, 210, 300, 450

I'm assuming that's the 110 Super Symmar?

Which 150mm?

Which 150mm?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. 110 ssxl, 150 APO Sironar S. The Sironar W is a better 5x7 lens, but I couldn't find one for a reasonable price when I bought the 150 S.
