It's usually three for me with the 4x5 as well:
75 Nikkor
135 Schneider Xenar (tiny little thing, sometimes comes as a one-lens setup)
210 Nikkor

The 300 Nikkor-M usually stays behind, mainly because my Wista only has 300mm draw and I rarely come across scenes that call for a 300 at infinity. Longer trips where I know there will be lots of wide-open scenery (as opposed to 'up close and personal', as is the case in most places I head on foot) then it has its own spot in the pelican.

Filter wise, I've got a little pouch with a Lee system, Yellow, Orange, Red, C/Pl, ND Grads (soft, 4 & 8) and ND8.

[Ole Tjugen]

I put down 6.

For 4x5" they're likely to be 47, 65, 75, 90, 120, 150, 210mm
For 5x7" most likely 75, 90, 121, 150, 210, 300mm
For 8x10" 121, 150, 210, 300, 360, 420mm

Or a Speed graphic with a universal iris mount, and a 7-cell casket set...

[Peter Gomena]

Light kit: 90, 150, 210
Road trip: 90, 120, 150, 210, 305, 360.

I have 10 lenses for my 5x7:

72mm, 90mm, 121mm, 150mm, 180mm, 210mm, 240mm, 300mm, 360mm and 450mm

I normally take between 3 and 5 lenses with me depending on what I am shooting.

[Peter Lewin]

Usually take a Photobackpacker pack with Canham 4x5, and three lenses: Schneider 80XL & Symmar-S 210, Rodenstock 150.

If I'm trying to be really light and compact, I have an old Congo f6.8/180mm that can stay on the Canham when its folded, and I can travel with just that one lens, some holders, a tripod & a meter.
I also have a now-rarely-used Schneider 120, left from the days when I believed anything that Fred Picker recommended, but for the most part it has been replaced by the wider but lighter Schneider 80XL

The more I take, the less I shoot as I spend too much time playing and never get as far due to weight. I try to keep it to 4x5 with 3 lenses and I feel that focal lenghts need to vary more than most. I like a 125mm 240mm and 450mm or a 75mm, a 150mm petzval and a 300mm imagon Recently, I've been out with a 600mm and a 450mm together. I'm not old, but I hate heavy packs. Maybe 6 lens kit on a road trip. 75, 125, 8-10" range 300mm, 450mm, 600mm. All that said, If I know where I'm going to shoot, 2 lenses works fine.
