I'm trying to complete my 4x5 setup before heading to Canada next month. I've d ecided to get a 90/8 Super Angulon, and something around a 210. I typically sho ot landscapes and architecture. I've been shooting with the community college's 135 and like it, but several times wanted something longer or wider. Although I like shooting landscapes, I'm probably not going to have the time to take exte nded backpacking trips with this, so weight isn't as big of an issue.
My choices are
203/7.7 Ektar 210/6.8 Caltar/Geronar (multicoated) 210/5.6 Sironar N (multicoated) 210/5.6 Symmar-S (multicoated)
The Ektar and Geronar are the cheapest, and that appeals to my grad student budg et, but I also intend to use these lenses a long time without upgrading, so I'm willing to shell out a few extra bucks up front for something that will prove wo rth it over the next several years.
Does anyone have any compelling, evidence-based reasons for selecting one over a nother?
Thanks for your time.
Dave
