Looking for a longish (240mm to 300mm) portrait lens on 4x5 that would also effectively cover 8x10 as a landscape lens. The hitch - I don't want a large filter size because I use filters a lot in my landscapes and past 67mm is just getting expensive. I'm really out of my knowledge area here so would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks.
Kodak Commercial Ektar 12inch with series VIII adapter 2 1/2 - 63.5mm. 67mm filters screw right in.Originally Posted by moltogordo
Nikkor 300 M. Not a lot of extra coverage for 8x10, but it will cover.
305mm G Claron 67mm Filter. Good coverage, not too large (Copal 1) and a good performer.

Fuji 250mm f/6.7 should satisfy you but it does take 77mm filters. It's inexpensive so that would help a little with additional filters.
+1 (52mm filters)
Add the 240 G Claron, 12" Dagor & 14" Artar to the list.
These would be worth checking out.

Alan - found some f6.3s online, but no 6.7. Just wondering.
Here come the Fuji "C" guys.
BTW- They are terrific lenses.
