- as much light as possible;
- for landscape:
- as much small as possible
- Black and White pictures

"As much light" and "as small" are conflicting.
"Landscape" and "Black and white" are easy.
There are basically two types of 300mm lenses. The ones with a Aperture of 5.6 wich are big an heavy and the ones from f8.5-9. They are super light and small.
F/6.3 Tessars, like the Commercial Ektar, tend to come in larger, older shutters.
The f/5.6 Fujinon-L and Nikkor W come in a Copal 3, which isn't too large.
An f/6.8 Dagor would be a good possibility if you find one in a nice shutter.

Fermat, when you say "as much light" are you referring to weight or brightness of wide open focusing?
