Ended up winning an auction last night for a Sinar F - kind of on a whim - for $150. Now I'm looking for a lens for it but am just so confused by all of the options.
I've narrowed it down to a 135 or 150. I want a general purpose lens for now. Eventually I want to do 4x5 portraits, but I assume I'll need a 210 or so for that. A 90 may come later as well, this is a shared camera between me and my father and we both do a lot of landscapes.
So for those focal lengths, any recommendations? I'd like to keep it relatively cheap but good bang for my buck. Thanks!
(Also, off topic, but I'm looking for film holders too... how many to start and will these work with my Sinar/be good? http://cgi.ebay.com/5-Fidelity-4x5-film-holders-In-excellent-used-conditi_W0QQitemZ160330323807QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item160330323807&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1546%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50)
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the lens board supplied is for lenses with a Copal 0.
