I would like to add a wide angle and a telephoto to my kit. Nothing too extreme in either direction, perhaps just a step or two in each direction. I was thinking in the range of 120-150 and 360-400, but am open to going outside of those boundaries if it seems appropriate (ie. I wouldn't mind going down to a 90, but finding a 90 that will cover 8x10 with movements isn't easy). Sharp and Fast are a must (although not necessarily at the same time... The fast requirement is mainly so I can focus in low light.
I shoot mostly landscape, a little architecture (although it's generally architecture turning into landscape - ie. old farm houses and barns), and occasionally portraiture.
Ideally, I prefer to have lenses that I can use on my Zone VI 4x5 as well which means some of the monster glass is out, but pretty much anything that will fit in a Copal 3 or smaller should be fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John IV
