Since the question gets asked a lot by new-comers to LF, I thought I'd take the time to write up my thoughts as to what I would recommend for 3, 4, and 5 lens sets for a 4x5 view camera. The discussion is here in a blog post:

Here are the lens set recommendations below. The basic criteria were modern multicoated lenses with modern shutters and preferably one or two filter sizes. I own or have owned the 90% of these lenses above or lenses in the same range but different focal lengths.

For a moderately wide and light set of three lenses with a single filter size I would suggest the following:

Fujinon NW 125mm/5.6 (52mm filter/265g)
Nikkor M 200mm/8 (52mm filter/180g)
Fujinon C 300mm/8 (52mm/250g) or Nikkor M 300mm/9 (52mm filter/290g)

For a wider and still relatively light four lens set with only two filter sizes, I would suggest the following all Nikkor set:

Nikkor SW 90mm/8 (67mm filter/360g) or Schneider Super-Symmar XL 110mm/5.6 (67mm filter/425g)
Nikkor W 135mm/5.6 (52mm filter/200g)
Nikkor M 200mm/f8 (52mm filter/180g)
Nikkor M 300mm/f8 (52mm filter/290g)

For an even wider and faster set of five lenses with only one filter sizes, I would suggest the following:

Schneider Super-Symmar XL 80mm/5.6 (67mm filter/271g)
Schneider Super-Symmar XL 110mm/5.6 (67mm filter/425g)
Fujinon CM-W 150mm/5.6 (67mm filter/280g)
Fujinon CM-W 250mm/6.3 (67mm filter/510g)
Nikkor T ED 360mm/8 (67mm filter/800g)

If you have a favorite set and rationale for it why don't you share your ideas below.
