What's in your 4x5 Lens kit?

Landscape and Architecture

75mm Fujinon
90mm Super Angulon
120mm Dagor
125mm Fujinon
150mm Symmar
180mm Symmar
240mm Apo Ronar
250mm Fujinon
300mm Apo Ronar
450mm Nikkor M

The overlap at 120mm and 240mm came about when I had the opportunity to buy some nice glass at a real bargain price. I paid less than £200 for the Dagor and less than £250 for the Fujinon 250mm. Also my Dagor and Fujinon are really light and compact for those more arduous treks.

I've settled on:

80XL
110XL
150 Apo Sironar-S
210 Apo Symmar

They're all great lenses and all seem to be up to the task of the large prints I make.

The 80XL probably needs a center filter which I don't have yet.

I could probably live with the 110/210 combo for all (or most) of my work, sometimes for personal work I just carry those two lenses. But the 80 is my back-against-the-wall lens for tight interiors or cityscapes and the 150 is just such a great little lens that fits into my camera when it's folded.

Sironar 120 and 135.

I currently own:
- Schneider Super Angulon 72mm f5.6 XL
- Fujinon SWD 75mm f5.6 (to be sold shortly)
- Schneider APO-Symmar 150mm f5.6
- Fujinon CM-W 300mm f5.6

I'm looking into getting:
- Schneider Super Angulon 47mm f5.6 XL
- Schneider Super Symmar 150mm f5.6 XL

150mm would be my most frequently used focal length, followed by 75 (72). Least used one would be the 300mm, although I love the lens, I guess I am more of a normal~wide angle shooter

I have a lot of inexpensive ebay lenses and shoot landscape and plants outdoors on 4x5. Ultra sharpness isn't an objective, but interesting bokeh and lots of movements are. Personally I find the 150mm focal length rather dull, and 90mm too wide, and prefer 135mm, 180mm sometimes 210mm. I recently mounted a Ross xpress 5 inch wa (126mm) and enjoyed that a lot because of the moderate wide angle and plenty of movements

while not new, I did a still life last month with a 75mm EL-NIKKOR and it worked pretty well with great magnification-

Mainly landscapes, but when im in the mood - portraits, night shots in the city etc.

90/5.6 Super Angulon
135/5.6 Symmar-S
210/5.6 Fujinon

The Super Angulon is the one i use the most, but it is a beast! I was considering trading it in for a slower 90, but i still love it once its on :-)

Another new recruit to LF!

I have an Ektar 203mm f7.7, and a Dallmeyer 4 1/4" f6.5 for an old Kodak Specialist and a Schneider Symar 210mm f5.6 for a Cambo.

I like all my lenses, and I've spent time getting the ones I wanted. I've worked in portrait for a long time, and I am just starting to get into architecture.
This forum is, in no small part, responsible (or to blame ).
Nikkor 65 f/4
Fujinon 75 f/5.6
Nikkor 90 f4.5
Schneider SA 121 f/8
Fujinon W 135 f/5.6
Fujinon W 180 f/5.6
Fujinon W 250 f/6.7

Three of them would cover 8x10, to varying degrees, and that's partly what I had in mind when I bought them.
