I just ordered a 4x5 camera Chamonix 45m-1. I'm trying to decide on lenses. Everyone says I should get a Rodenstock APO - Sironar - S 135mm f5.6 Lens, Copal No.0 as the first standard lens. However, I find 50mm in 35mm a little confining. Also, when I shoot Mamiya RB67 6x7 medium format, the Mamiya 90mm medium format lens is probably around 45mm lens equivalent in 35mm format. So I believe the 135 would more closely match earlier preferences of mine. So then the Rodenstock APO - Sironar - S 135mm f5.6 Lens, Copal No.0 would seem to be a better match but less available. What do you think?
PS the medium format wide angle I'm using is 24mm equivalent. So for my second lens I'm thinking about either a 90mm, 80mm or 75mm. What about the second lens?
Note I shoot landscapes in color and black and white. I only scan at home and process in outside labs.
Any suggestions? Thanks. Alan
