Ricardo--

Yes, but red wine tastes so much better than lenses!

I too generally deal with architecture, particularly with the photographic documentation of historic buildings and structures that are threatened with being altered or demolished. By training, I'm a historian and architectural historian, and thus am a rank amateur when it comes to LF, especially when compared to the many very talented people on this site.

That being said, for 4x5 I find a complement of three lenses does what I need--90mm, 150mm, and 210mm. I originally had wanted something longer than 210, perhaps a 240 or even into the low 300s, but then Jim Galli offered for sale his Schneider 210 convertible lens, and I fell for his claim that you couldn't take a bad picture with it. Unfortunately, I have found many, many ways to take a bad picture with it, but it has been a very good lens nonetheless.

Have you been using primarily a 35mm camera, or medium format?

Have you ever had any trincadeira wines? I recall a Casa Cadaval trincadeira a few years ago and really enjoying it--with black olives and feta cheese, it was very heaven.

I shoot with a 35mm (5D) and shift lens.
90mm is wide on 4x5 ?
Casa Cadaval i never tried ... This week i drinked Quinta do Perdigão ( Red wine - Touriga Nacional ).
