Who here loves their 75mm lens on 4x5?

[Paul Cunningham]

I very recently picked up a Nikkor-SW 75mm f/4.5 lens and am now debating whether I should keep it or not.
Rather than debate its merits versus some other lens than I have (or don't), I'd love to hear from those who shoot and love a 75mm. If you can post samples or links to samples, I'd love to see what others are doing!

Nice for near/far compositions:

Thanks David. My family (mother's side) is from Honolulu. I may take this lens with me to Maui next month.

Nikkor 75mm. I rarely use mine, as I simply rarely shoot wide. However, there is no way this park shot would have been made with anything else I have, as 75mm is my widest lens.

When you need a wide lens, you just flat-out need it.

I use my Nikkor SW 4.5/75 on 4x5 occasionally. I like it. Like Brian, I don't often shoot wide in that format.

That lens has the largest image circle of any 75mm in my database, which argues in its favor if you use movements.

On 35mm, I have nothing between my 20mm and 35mm lenses, and there are absolutely times when I need the 20mm.

I love my 75mm lens. I use it often. Here is an example.

Those are some very fine examples, Mike.

Can't argue with his work.
