Just One More Lens

**Andre Noble** · 7-Mar-2010, 20:34

I have a 72, 90, 120, and 150.

If I could own just one more lens, it would a Rodenstock Apo Sironar S 240mm for portraiture.

A 24" in a shutter (and put my 210mm and 19" in shutters, too!)

You guys are all thinking way too small. 90 150 240 360 covered blah blah blah. What you guys need is not more lenses, but more formats to worry about buying lenses FOR.

5X7, 6.5X8.5, 8X10, 7X11, 11X14, 7X17, 8X20, 12X20, then you'll be able to stress over a full set for the full set

My collection includes 90, 150 and 254. The only thing I need to complete the series is a 400T.

I think I'd go for a 19.5-inch Wollensak Velostigmat Series II. I bet I've seen two dozen Pinkham and Smith's go by on ebay, and probably just as many Perscheids, Penrays, Graf Variables, and Spencer Port-Lands...

And those Noctilux's, Universal Heliars, Apo-Lanthars, and Kern Dagors are a-dime-a-dozen as far as rarity (not price!) goes...

But I've never seen one of those 19.5-inch Velostigmat Series II lenses go by.

Wait, on second thought, I'd go for the lens that would get me in bed with Julia Roberts. Does anybody know what lens that would be?

I really want that new Schneider Tele Xenar 350. Perfect for backpacking with 4 by5 and a great length for 8 by 10.

75, 120, 150, 210, 300 covered.

That leaves a 360-T plus 500mm rear... not to mention replacing my 150-N with a 150-S when my ship comes in.

After that suppose that only leaves getting an 8x10 camera so I can start all over... when my second ship comes in.
