My 150 and 210 lenses get the most use out of the 6 lenses I have for my 4x5. I tend to work with normal to "normal + a bit" lenses with most of my cameras.

180 mm f9.0 Fujinon A is my most used lens... has a lovely large image circle and is quite light weight too...

I am new to LF so my kit emulates my 135 set up: 72XL, 110XL, 150mm Sironar-S - a rough 24, 35, 50 equivalent.
Using a 4x5 as a press camera: 135mm
Using it for other stuff: I tend to like the normal plus view so 210

If I had to live with one lens for 4x5 it would be the 200M. Since I don't, my main kit is a 150 & 240.
5x7 is a 250 and 8x10 is a 360. I like/see longer.
I tend to use my 150mm most when shooting 4x5.

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
Most of the time I slap on the 150 too, but if not the 210 hides in my bag.
125 and 240, although I use the 400 more often than I though I would.

135mm apo-sironar-s and just in case I keep a 90mm f8 nikkor. However, 135mm does what I need.

Interesting answers here, especially after scanning the "Large Format Landscapes" thread on this forum. Scanning through the last five pages or so, by far the most often used lenses are 75 and 90mm.
I looked because that's what I use most often for landscapes, while 150, 210 and greater are most often cited on this thread...
