I'm sorry to post such a subjective question but after spending a good deal of t ime looking around the forum I feel that thanks to everyones experience and gene rosity this could prevent me from "putting my foot in it".
Well, my local 2nd hand shop is preparing a Linhof 5 for me. I decided on the Li nhof to expand my portfolio of urban landscapes, until now, shot with a Leica an d a modern ASPH 35mm lens. I am hoping to start by using it as a rangefinder but am sure that I will gradually feel the need to fully exploit LF and correct par allels. The camera is not an issue, my doubt is which "moderate" wide lens to us e to give maximum image quality and scope for movement (coverage: more or less m y 35mm on the Leica).
So my question is a follows, I am undecided between a 120 or 135 lens, I note th at the Linhof is not the ideal choice for architectural photos due to its "limit ed" movements, so I am looking for a lens that will exploit the available moveme nts of the camera and gives good image quality. Any experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Adrian
