    Xenotar 150 because I have so much invested into it and it's permanently mounted on my lens board! Also, it truly is everything mythical reported. I am going from a rodenstock 127mm to this.

    In my bag at all times are: 90mm,127mm, and a 203mm. All are small, light and cover about all subjects.

    On the Sinar, in order:

    121/8 Super Angulon
    210/5.6 APO-Sironar-N
    90/5.6 Super Angulon

    All the others (65, 240, 12") share last place--too close to call.

    On the Speed Graphic (anticipated usage):

    127mm Graflex Optar
    8-1/2" Ilex Paragon
    90mm Graflex Optar W.A.

    On Pentax 6x7:

    55mm
    200mm
    45mm

    On Canon 5D:

    24-105/4L

    I mostly photograph B&W landscapes and carry a 125mm f/5.6 Fujinon, a 210mm f/5.6 Fujinon, and a 300mm f/9 Nikon M. The 210 is my most used lens, closely followed by the 125mm with the 300mm a distant third. Although, tonight I made five negatives, three with the 210 and two with the 300.

    I use a fujinon 125mm cmw, an 8 3/4" verito (222mm?) , and a 450mm nikkor M equally. I should maybe sell all the rest as they rarely see the light of day.

    When I used 4x5 for my pro work I used Grandagons 65/4,5 - 90/4,5 - 115/6,8 Apo Sironar W 150/5,6 Sironars N 210/5,6 - 300/5,6 and Apo Ronars 240/9 and 480/9.
    Now I shot just for my pleasure and Grandagon 115/6,8 Apo Sironar W 150/5,6 and Sironar N 210/5,6 is my essential 4x5 kit.
