    STILL LIFE - Lens Thoughts & Recommendations

    I'm interested in pursuing still life work with my 4x5. My living room has a large north-facing window that provides wonderful ambient light. To that end, I'd like to work with a lens suited for this type of work. I have a G-Claron 150/9 and a G-Claron 210/9. Since I've read that these lenses were originally designed for graphic arts work, and do well at 1:1, I'm thinking they might prove useful. I also have a several Nikkor "W" and "M" lenses that could be pressed into service if appropriate.

    If I have as much fun as I anticipate, I'm open to acquiring a "specialty" lens for this type of work. All comments, suggestions, and/or recommendations are appreciated.
