Re: [Largeformat] the best lenses combo for a 6x9 camera ?

["Karl Wolz" <wolzphoto@worldnet.att.net>]

You can extrapolate by percentage (appx. 70%) here.

If I only could carry one lens for 4x5, it would be a 120.  Second lens
would be a 75.  Third would be a 210 - 300.

I think the 150 would be a bit short for portraiture.  I'd go to a 210 (for
6x9).  You might consider a short tele lens to get the additional length.
