Hi. I had made a similar thread a while back but didn't have enough info at the time, so now I'm back with more specifics.
I am going to be photographing paintings with a Cambo 4x5 (16" bellows draw) and a Better Light back. The paintings will vary in size between 8x10" and 24x36" and I have about 12-15' or so in my studio from painting to back wall.
With all these factors can anyone recommend a lens for me that would best suit my needs? I am leaning towards something like the Sironar-S in 180mm, but I'm not sure if that is a good middle ground or if it would be too limiting. I am not opposed to having, say, a 150 and a 210 either if that would be better in my situation.
I am also not sure if should be looking at newer APO lenses (the only kinds I have experience with) or older enlarging or macro lenses.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
