Culling the Lens Herd - Reducing duplication

[EdC]

As part of doing some simplification, and upgrading a 4x5 field camera, I'm looking to reduce lens duplication.

210mm (For the 210mm, I am interested in using the lens on both 4x5 and 8x10)
Rodenstock Sironar N in Copal
Schneider Symmar Convertible in Compur
Computar in Copal

My Vote - Computar. Not as bright for focusing, but the coverage is hard to beat for the 8x10. Hat tip to Sandy King, for his call on the 210mm Computar not quite covering 7x17. Correct once again, Sandy........... :0( But, did get it for a stupendously good price...... :0)


90mm
Nikon 90mm f/4.5 in Copal
Rodenstock Grandagon f/4.5 in Copal

My Vote - Toss up, but leaning towards keeping the Nikon. I have the 65mm Nikon, and for the wide angle work, it seems to me that having the two Nikons would allow for having similar lens performance. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it would seem to make sense.


Thanks,

Ed
