Thanks for the reply.
This will be my first LF system. I have been shooting 35mm and medium =
format for years. The camera will be for mostly landscapes, historical =
documentation and rural settings. In the past I have always favored =
slightly wide angle lenses. With my Leica M6 I have a 24mm(60%), =
35mm(25%) and 50mm. Same is true with my medium format systems as well. =
According to Jeff at Badger Graphics the 110 mm has coverage equal to =
a 28mm on a 35mm format. I don't see myself using the camera for close =
up work. My budget will only allow one lens at the price of the =
Schneider. I will add others later.
Additional comments are appreciated.
Bob

What subjects do you photograph? How close do you work? Buildings? =
catalogue shots? As the standard lens for 5x4 is 150mm the 110mm you =
suggest is quite wide angle. How much rising front will it permit? It =
gives a smaller image than the 135mm, which is nearer normal angle and =
might support more movements: depends on the angle of view claimed by =
the manufacturer. Philip=20

I have narrowed my choice between two lenses. Not considering the =
small focal length differences between the two which one would you =
suggest that I chose. If there are owners of either of these I would =
appreciate your input as well.
The two lenses are: Schneider Super Symmar 110mm F5.6 and =
Rodenstock Apo-Sironar S 135mm F5.6.
Thanks for your comments.
