Hello All,
I have a new to me 5x7 camera, and currently have 3 lenses for it. It's been a slow year for me for photography but I'm psyched to get back to it. So I'm working on my rig as I'm starting to get back into it.
Anyway, I have 3 Fuji lenses 180mm, 210mm and 250mm. It's occuring to me that these are all pretty close in focal length. I've used another 180mm lens on 5x7 exclusively for a couple of years, and like it for slightly wider portraits (mostly what I do is portraits), but closer in it leaves a lot of distortion.
I've never used a 90mm on 5x7. It appears to be about a 22mm equivalent for 35mm. I'm wondering if that's too wide to use for environmental portraits. I could also try to find a (harder to find) 120mm lens
I'd like to keep it to 3 lenses, and be able to do everything with them. I'm thinking 90mm or 120mm, 210mm and maybe a 300mm. But also concerned that maybe the 210mm might be too tight, the 90mm too wide for a lot of things.
So a 4 lens setup could be 90mm, 180mm, 250mm and ?? something longer than 300? Not sure if I really need that.
I know this is all OCD faffing. But if you have any thoughts, please let me know.
Thanks
Paul
