Hi, I'm fairly new to large format, and have been fretting over buying my first lens and the issue of lens coverage. Is there a rule of thumb or general guideline to go by when figuring out how much coverage you need and how much coverage a lens provides? For instance, I'm planning on purchasing either a 135mm or 150mm lens for use in landscapes and occasional architecture with a 4x5 monorail view camera. I want to have adequate coverage area to be able to use plenty of movements so my setup can handle any possible situations I may encounter. How much coverage is enough?
On a related sidebar, I've been looking into getting a Rodenstock Apo Sironar S 135/5.6 or 150/5.6. What type of coverage do these lenses have, and is it enough for the above said applications?
Thanks.
