Greetings all!
I'm new to large format photography as well as this forum. I'm planning to get into LF, specifically shooting 5x7 as well as 6x17 with the appropriate back. I'm putting together my "dream" list of lenses and would love feedback/recommendations/advice. Here's what I have so far:
Schneider Super Angulon XL 90/5.6 for my wide angle. May substitute with the 90/8 Nikkor SW.
Dedicated macro - this one is tough, but I'm leaning towards a Rodenstock APO macro sironar-s 180/5.6. I prefer this over say the 210 due to less bellows extension required for 1:1 and above.
"Normal" lens Fujinon A 240/9 - I know this may be a little long for a "normal" lens, but the results I've seen from this lens are just superb under many situations.
The Rodenstock Sironar-S 150 would also be a contender for my "normal" lens, though it appears to be a bit more expensive than the fuji.
Long-ish - Nikkor M 300/9
I'd love to get thoughts and hear your experiences. I believe all of these will cover 5x7/6x17 well.
Thanks in advance!
David
