Might as well ask this as well. If your FL is not represented, pick the nearest one.
This is intended for 4x5.
My longest is 450mm.

I said 360, because that's the longest I typically use on 4x5", but I have a few longer lenses that I could use on my 8x10" Sinar P with a 4x5" back, but I've only done so out of curiosity, to see what they look like. Here's a shot with that setup and a 75cm element from my Busch Vademecum set--

This involved two tripods, which isn't something I care to do that often.

My longest LF lens is the convertible Symmar 1:5.6/360 - 1:12/620mm. But I've voted with the whole lens only. ;-)

Mine is 800mm Nikon - far from the longest allowed to vote for.

500 Fujinon, but if I had extension bellows and third standard for my 4x5 Arca-Swiss, I'd love to mount my Nikkor 1200 mm that I use on my 8x10 system.

Damn ... I am so completely negated with numbers I'm surprised I'm still shooting. I voted 360 when my longest is actually 460. Oops.

300mm Apo Ronar cause that is the limit of the Shen-Hao's bellows. Have longer lenses but 300 is all i need on 4x5

720mm in a strictly 4x5 format (Nikkor 720 Tele) and 1200 mm in an 8x10 format (Nikkor 1200 Tele). A 720 Tele is about the limit for my Ebony 4x5 in terms of bellows extension.

None of the above. I voted for 250, but my longest lens is a true ten inch: 254mm. One day, I'll seek out a 400mm tele...

210 is all I've found a need for.

My 610 APO Nikkor is not on the list, but most of the time I use it in 8x10 not so often in 4x5 and 6x7.
Cheers Armin Seeholzer
15" Tele-raptar... 381mm so I said 400 cause it is one closer to that than 360.
