    135mm Rodenstock APO Sironar S. Unbelievably sharp, very convenient focal length.

    Rodenstock 210mm APO Sironar-S. Maybe a Grandagon 90mm, too. Can't I have 2 lenses in heaven?

    A Super Symmar120 HM or SS 110 XL. But, sooner or later you are going to need additional longer/shorter lenses.

    I must say I am pleased to see so many votes for the SSXL 110; after a couple month's research, that is the lens I have chosen to buy first.

    "Can't I have 2 lenses in heaven?"That qualifies as life after death, where an 8x10 Sinar P2 cameras will be as light and as compact as a Canham DLC and everyone will have Arca-Swiss B2 monoball tripod heads. Not to forget; we will have 8x10 Kodachrome as well, with one hour processing too and Edward Weston, Ansel Adams Paul Strand and Imogene Cunningham will be offering free one on one workshops and mentoring.

    I would choose my Schneider Super Angulon 110/5.6 XL.

    I use the Super Angulon 90 XL - Super Symmar 110 XL - Apo Symmar 180 & 240, but 80% of my work is done with the 110 XL........

    Incredible the quality, seen trough very large color prints (50"x61" full format image)

    Ellis, I heard heaven went digital and Weston and Adams shipped out. Fujinon 180f9A It's wideish on the 5X7, longish on the 4X5 and sharp enough to be a telephoto on the Nikon! J
