I can't imagine having a terribly perverse lens fetish.
It's terrible. I'm ashamed to admit that I just focus around all day.
I guess you'll just hafta barrel right through it har har
I seem to be the only person advocating a wide, and really, 90mm isn't even that wide. I've seen maybe a few saying 135 and 150mm, and everyone else is at 200-210mm.
I know I said in (there was a url link here which no longer exists) that I'm going to try out some narrower-fov landscapes next time, but I just don't see good narrow shots very often.
Is it really not that limiting sticking always with 210mm?
Croubie, the OP's question is too broad and so are the answers. Not that the OP and the responders are frivolous or that the OP's goal -- carry fewer lenses, concentrate on art -- is a bad one.
Rather that which focal length is best for a situation -- scene in front of the photographer, photographer's desired rendition of it -- depends on the scene. Where I live and often shoot lenses much longer than normal can't capture the scenes I see as I want to capture them because I can't get far enough back from the, um, horizon. I tend to use lenses shorter than normal, sometimes half normal. That's more or less your situation, I think. These focal lengths are, though, terribly wrong for much of the American west. There short lenses capture vistas that are all foreground and longer lenses work better.

Yeah i agree
My question wasn't advice related more like for what type of photography you mainly do, what would be YOUR one lens if you had to choose and in what instance..

Now if you changed the format to 8x10 the answer would of course be a 14" Commercial Ektar. Everyone knows that!
Really?

Silly wabbit. 14" Dagor, naturlich.
[h=2]"If u could have one lens for 4x5 ..."[/h]
... then I wouldn't have GAS.
(I have several lenses for 4x5 but no camera yet)
Ok, new thread.
If you could only own one 4x5 camera which one would it be?
