    John, well I actually just won an eBay auction for a beautiful mint condition Wista which comes with a Caltar HR 300mm F5.6 lens. So I will be starting with the 300mm for now. I will probably pick up something a little wider (240 or 250 maybe), depending on how the 300 works out. I don’t generally shoot much beyond the typical “50mm” (in 35mm) equivalent lens.

    Enjoy the camera! Don't use much force on view camera controls.
