Trying to figure out what size hole do I need for my lens board, I found this:

And even better this:

Which is full of exact specifications!

I guess you guys already know about it, but I figure that if I put a link in here the next newbie with a question will know where to look.

I have a bid on a longer lens too. I figure a 127, a 210 and a 305 will fill most of my needs.
Besides portraits, I also like landscapes, so I might need a wider lens for that.

Any recommendations for a favorite short landscape lens that you simply could not live without?
If it's $1000 or more, I will have to live without, because my budget won't allow that.
I paid less than $100 for the one I just bought, along with shipping and tax.
I probably won't spend more than $300 on a lens, at least for now, so I still like to hear about the great lenses, I probably just can't afford them.

It's for a Calumet 4x5
