I am looking for some opinions as to the most useful focal lengths of lenses for 4 x 5 and 8 x 10 formats. If the responders would please tell me why they feel a given length is the most useful and what they primarily use it for, i.e. landscapes, portraits, still life, etc. I would be most appreciative. I am just seriously getting started in large format, having purchased an 8 x 10 camera with lens recently. I wish to puchase some additional lenses and a 4 x 5 in the near future, but as I have no access to anyone else using large format, I hope this group can give me some insight on this matter. FWIW, I plan on doing portrait and landscape work. Thanks in advance.Archy E. Wiseman
