I am going to be moving into 5X7 as my small format and am evaluating the lenses that I will want to supplant those I used most often with 4X5.
I used 210 most often and I think my 305 reproclaron will take that spot in 5X7. My next most used lens is the 120 Apo Symmar. Obviously that will not cover the larger film. My question is this, would I be better with a 180 or a 150 focal length lens? I have been looking to the 180 Nikkor W or the 180 Fujinon. Which is the sharper lens? or are they both good, or bad? I have no experience with Fujinon...all the rest of my glass is Schneider with the exception of my 450 Nikkor M (left over from my 12X20 days)
!50 mm coverage concerns me. I want the ability to use movements and not run out of coverage. Is there a reasonably priced modern 150 that will provide this?
